A new report by the think tank Demos tackles the problem that those with the least skills are least likely to train. It argues for Governments to use subsidies, support, incentives and regulation to correct low investment in training and therefore make the market work more efficiently. The research involved case studies of 18 employers in three sectors representing different parts of the British economy (construction, information technology and children's services), plus discussion groups with members of the public. It also drew on best practice from abroad in the design of qualifications and the role of social partners.
