The ‘in-work credit’ paid to single parents had positive effects on getting people off benefit and into work, finds a new report from the Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, The Impact of a Time-Limited, Targeted In-Work Benefit in the Medium-Term: An Evaluation of In Work Credit. ‘In-work credit’ was paid nationally from 2008 to lone parents who had previously spent at least a year on benefits if they moved into work of 16 or more hours per week, with a maximum payment of 52 weeks.
