Minimum Wage Advantages

One advantage of this strategy is that the businesses that are providing jobs for families, may raise the minimum wage which will tackle 'in work' poverty that many low income families suffer from. A second advantage is that by providing families with free 15 hours of childcare, parents are able to go out to work to earn more and have a higher income, this means that they will be able to by more resources for their children to prevent them being in poverty and falling behind their children. Lastly, an advantage is that this strategy supports families into work, this is an advantage as those who are not in employment are encouraged to go into employment in a number of ways, through free childcare, reducing bills and improving living standards.
