The biggest shake-up of Britain’s welfare system for decades will end the scandal of millions of people being paid to stay out of work. Ministers are preparing to offer a radical ‘make work pay’ guarantee that will ensure that around 40p in every extra £1 that claimants earn stays in their pocket… Currently, some families lose more than £1 in benefits for every extra £1 they would earn in employment… a perverse disincentive to the jobless who might find work, or part-time workers offered extra hours.
