There is clear evidence that work, in particular full time work, significantly reduces the risk of being in poverty. For example, there is only a 4% chance of a child being in absolute poverty before housing costs where both parents work full-time, compared to 44% where one or more parents in a couple are in part-time work.<\/p>
Universal Credit will provide an extra £2.1bn a year once fully rolled out, compared to the legacy benefits it replaces. Claimants receive better support to prepare for work, move into work, or to increase earnings. The Universal Credit Work Allowance was increased by £1,000 in April 2019 and means that 2.4m households will keep an extra £630 of income each year.<\/p>
Other measures we have taken to support working families include delivering another rise in the National Living Wage - increasing a full-time worker\u2019s annual pay by over £2,750 since its introduction, and by nearly £3,700 with the recently announced rise from this April. Our tax changes make basic rate tax payers over £1,200 better off from April 2019, compared with 2010.<\/p>
