5pm gather, 5.30 start – lifestream on Facebook from 5.30
The Tuesday Club, in association with IDEA (the Institute for Democratic and Economic Analysis), invite you to a sneak preview of the findings of IDEA’s first research project. This major report looks at how we can transform the support we offer to those looking for paid work – building a pipeline of talent for Kiwi firms while reshaping lives and economic opportunities.
IDEA is a new and politically independent think-tank that develops rational solutions to the interconnected problems of poverty and political exclusion. They seek to foster an open and robust public debate on these issues, and help politicians understand the solutions. Their vision is a flourishing society of widespread economic prosperity and democratic participation. You can learn more about them here.
The Research Project – Welfare to Work
IDEA’s research director, Max Rashbrooke, has been researching global best practice on welfare-to-work policy, talking to policy-makers, and hearing from people delivering services on the ground. Supporting people’s aspirations for paid work is empowering, and it’s an immensely topical issue – but also an area in which New Zealand has long under-invested. Getting it right could be a key building block for a new, more dynamic economy.

NOTE limited numbers at Smash Palace, first in first served.
We want to keep growing our support base, so if you know anyone else who may be interested, please do forward them the link. Either way, we kindly request that you and yours RSVP by May 5th.
Our plan is to make this a really energising event: a chance to hear about this research ahead of its public launch, discuss the findings with Max, be inspired by the change we can make in this area, and connect with like-minded others.
