<p>It is widely acknowledged that the reasons why people are in food poverty are complex
and overlapping, and therefore would be misleading to link this to any particular
cause. The Government’s approach has been about recognising the value and importance
of work, to make work pay and to support people into work whilst protecting the most
vulnerable in society. We are committed to ensuring that those in work are paid a
fair wage; have opportunities to progress and achieve their potential. We are getting
disabled people into employment and working to change attitudes, introducing reforms
to make sure that work always pays and that we support people into work. Since June
2016 over 750,000 of people who were receiving incapacity benefits are now either
preparing for or looking for work.</p>
