Improving health and wealth are not separate objectives; low-to-middle incomes are significantly more likely to be out of work due to ill health.
Employment among low-to-middle income families is up nine percentage points since the mid-90s, contrasting with stagnation in richer households.
The feeling of being squeezed is real, with essentials now consuming 60% of low-to-middle income families' budget, up from 50% at the start of the century.
Our social contract hasn't delivered for millions, and we need to build policies that improve pay, security, and the volatility of people's work.
