As part of the wider objective of full employment in every region, over the three years to Spring 2008, and taking account of the economic cycle: - demonstrate progress on increasing the employment rate; - increase the employment rates of disadvantaged groups (lone parents, ethnic minorities, people aged 50 and over, those with the lowest qualifications and those living in the local authority wards with the poorest initial labour market position); and - significantly reduce the difference between the employment rates of the disadvantaged groups and the overall rate. |
