Although there have been recent increases to JobSeeker, it still falls short of lifting individuals above the poverty line. Here’s how this impacts everyone.

One thought on “Despite recent increases, JobSeeker still leaves people below the poverty line. Here’s why that affects us all”

  1. You’re absolutely right. Even with recent increases, JobSeeker remains insufficient for many individuals and families, pushing them below the poverty line. This situation has broader implications for society as a whole.

    Firstly, when people struggle to meet their basic needs, it can lead to increased stress and health issues, affecting overall public health outcomes. Additionally, poverty can perpetuate cycles of disadvantage, limiting access to education and employment opportunities for future generations.

    Furthermore, inadequate support for unemployed individuals can strain public resources in other areas, such as healthcare and social services. It ultimately affects economic growth, as those living in poverty have limited purchasing power, which impacts local businesses and communities.

    Addressing the inadequacies of JobSeeker isn’t just a matter of justice for individuals; it’s a crucial investment in our collective future. By ensuring everyone has access to a livable income, we can promote a healthier, more equitable society that benefits us all.
