Government extends MSD's support to include non-beneficiaries (New Zealand Herald)

Minister for Social Development and Employment Carmel Sepuloni announced the ministry's role would expand to support non-beneficiaries in employment, education ...

"We need to continue to focus on those on benefit and the support they need to get into employment. "What's been missing up until now has been the focus at the preventative end, where you support people into employment, education or training before they even consider needing to come onto benefit." Upston was more critical of the news, and said it was "absurd" Labour wanted to devote taxpayers' money to support non-beneficiaries into work when more than 100,000 people were on the Jobseeker Support benefit long-term at a time when businesses were desperate for staff. "We have seen success in our targeting so far, particularly for longer-term beneficiaries, with 36,000 people who had been receiving a main benefit for longer than a year moving into work over the previous 12 months." "With record numbers of people moving off benefit and into work and a promising pipeline of people participating across all our employment, education and training services, it's clear the expansion has proven its worth." "As a result of our Government's focus on supporting people into employment, education or training, we've seen unemployment at a near-record low, exits off benefit and into work the highest on record, and benefit numbers not reaching the high forecasts from Treasury."
