New welfare reforms under consideration would tighten eligibility for financial support by reducing benefits for individuals who are capable of employment but have struggled to secure or maintain a job. Critics argue the changes could leave vulnerable workers without adequate safety nets, while proponents claim the measures aim to encourage greater workforce participation. The proposed adjustments would specifically target those who, despite being able to work, have faced barriers in sustaining employment. Details on how these cuts would be implemented and their potential impact on affected groups remain under review.
The proposals would also see benefits cut for people who are able to work but have failed to hold down a job.
