Abstract

ReWAGE’s evidence report Work, Wages and Employment in the Adult Social Care Sector found already having a high rate of in-work poverty, care workers are now worse off in real terms than they were two years ago and should be given pay parity with equivalent NHS roles, according to new research.

These shocking findings come only a few short years since the care sector was thanked and praised by the Government for working with bravery and dignity through the Covid pandemic.

The report is supported by a short Policy Brief.
