The UK's broken welfare system is fuelling the "greatest unemployment challenge of a generation", ministers have warned.
The Labour Party has announced plans to overhaul the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) following new evidence suggesting inefficiencies and potential improvements in welfare distribution. The update focuses on enhancing the welfare system to better support those in need, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring that benefits are delivered more effectively. This includes proposals for digital transformation to streamline processes, better integration of services, and a review of current policies to address gaps in support for vulnerable groups. Labour aims to make the DWP more responsive and fair, tackling issues like poverty and unemployment more directly through these reforms.
