Whither welfare-to-work? The IES annual policy conference 2009

A one-day conference exploring the future of welfare to work

12 November 2009, London

How should welfare-to-work policies adjust to higher unemployment? Where will this leave harder-to-help groups? What lessons can be learned from previous economic cycles or from abroad? And looking ahead to years of austerity imposed by the public finances: where does welfare-to-work go from here?
