Recommendation 7

We appreciate that not every job can be saved as the Chancellor has set out, but are nonetheless concerned about rising unemployment, which is particularly affecting women, BAME workers and young people because they are more likely to be employed in insecure work. We are concerned that damage may be done to some sectors by the premature withdrawal of furlough and the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, which would hamper the UK’s ability to recover quickly with a focus on good quality work.
