As part of our economic plan we are investing in our people by supporting low income New Zealanders to improve their futures.
Labour is:
- Reinstating the Training Incentive Allowance for higher skilled courses which will provide up to $4,515 per year to assist with extra costs
- Increasing the amount of money people who are working part-time can earn while on a benefit
- Continuing the welfare overhaul and implementing the recommendations of the Welfare Expert Advisory Group
- Revamping and expanding the Flexi-wage programme to support up to 40,000 more New Zealanders into work or to set up a business
