answer text <p /> <p /> <p>It is well known that childcare costs can be a significant barrier to maternal employment, which is why the Government is investing in childcare in Universal Credit. Universal Credit will cover childcare costs for families where the lone parent or both parents in a couple work any hours, whereas Tax Credits childcare support is only payable past 16 hours worked per week. At Budget '14 the Government announced an increase in the rate of childcare support in Universal Credit from 70% (as per the current system) to 85% of eligible childcare costs, up to defined limits, from April 2016. These measures combined mean that around 500,000 working families will get more out of the money they earn, including 100,000 families who will get childcare support for the first time under Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>We would expect the changes in childcare support under Universal Credit to have a positive impact on work incentives for mothers, affecting maternal employment rates and tax receipts from mothers paying Income Tax and National Insurance.</p>

answer text <p /> <p>Tackling unemployment is essential for sustainable economic growth in the UK and the EU. Where labour market reforms are needed in Member States, these should be encouraged. Opportunities at the EU level to exchange best practice and identify areas for reform exist, in particular through the European Semester process. However, as is recognised in Article 147 of the Lisbon Treaty, responsibility for employment policies rests with the Member States. The Government continues to be firm and vigilant on this principle. It is also very clear that the UK will not take part in any deeper co-operation that may be developed for countries in the Eurozone.</p> more like this
