How does housing affect 
work incentives for 
people in poverty? 
This report explores how housing impacts on work incentives, and opportunities to progress in 
work, for those in and around poverty. It highlights a well-entrenched work ethic among people 
who are likely to command only modest wages, and the multiple disincentives they face arising 
from the cost of housing, transport and childcare.
