Labour Market Inactivity
- Question
-
What assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of its policies on reducing the level of inactivity in the labour market.

-
We are doing a great deal to bear down on economic inactivity. As of August this year, the figures show that over half the increase in economic activity that occurred during the pandemic has since unwound. That is more than 300,000 people into work.
