Lady_Penelope on Nostr: Wonder where they got those figures because only working 23 hours a week in the UK ...
Wonder where they got those figures because only working 23 hours a week in the UK has got to be bollicks. In order to qualify for working tax credits, the basic supplement to a low wage (under £18 is) you need at least 35 hours.
Perhaps it's skewered slightly by larger companies shortening the working week, but if we're talking about earning out of poverty, it'll have to be in full time employment.
And I doubt like for like Ireland requires 10 hours more 🤔
