Budget debate: MPs discuss jobs, upskilling for those who may fall between the cracks
Jobs and upskilling remained hot topics on the second day of the Budget Debate. MPs called for greater support for those who may fall between the cracks. For example, encouraging senior employment, uplifting lower-wage workers and aligning training for SMEs to increase productivity. One key concern raised was ageism in workplaces. While current efforts like grants and wage offsets can encourage hiring of older workers, one MP said a mindset shift is imperative.
