Drawing on the findings of a research study supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation as part of their Recurrent Poverty programme, this paper will explore: (a) the structural barriers that disadvantaged parents encounter when trying to escape the low-pay no-pay cycle, defined as repeated movements into and out of low paid employment; and (b) various potential solutions to some of the issues identified.
