WORKLESSNESS

Worklessness occurs when a person is not engaged in any form of economic activity, such as employment, education or training.

Certain groups of people have been demonstrated to be more susceptible to finding themselves in a situation where they are considered to be workless, and as such these people may need more help to overcome the barriers they may face. Because of this Plymouth City Council has felt the need to look into the problem of worklessness and recognised the importance of engaging with local partners in an effort to develop an effective plan and help coordinate any such activity in the city.
