There is clear evidence that full-time work dramatically reduces the risk of poverty for working families; for example, there is only a 7% chance of a child being in poverty (relative, after housing costs) if both parents work full-time compared with 66% for children in (two-parent) families with only part-time work. <\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\">Although not directly referenced, our approach to reducing poverty is already reflected in our Single Departmental Plan which sets out how we plan to achieve our key strategic objectives including delivering an effective labour market strategy that boosts employment among under-represented and disadvantaged groups and facilitating progression; and consolidating the delivery of Universal Credit so that it works for everyone.<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\"><ins class=\"ministerial\">Universal Credit, at the heart of our reforms, has already shown that it is more effective in getting people into work than the legacy benefits it replaces. Nine months into a UC claim, 40% of claimants are working for an employer in a paid role, compared with only 23% at the start of their claim. This is a key approach to provide a sustainable solution to reducing poverty.<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p>"}
