People who have not been able to find work or who cannot work are forced to struggle in poverty with the current benefit rates.
The current benefit rates do not even cover the cost of rent for an average house, let alone the cost of food, and many other necessary costs for survival.
The government do not seem concerned about this, and this needs to change.

There are not enough jobs to go around everyone who is looking for work, so this means there will be so many long term unemployed. A lot of people find there is just no way out of their poor economic situation. There are categories in today's society, the beneficiaries, the working poor & the rich & the gap is widening all the time.
