Working-age Economic Inactivity To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact on the public finances of working-age economic inactivity.
Is the framework helping to bridge the gap between ensuring that those folk who, as we heard earlier, are physically inactiveget a bit of activity and moving folk into organised sport?
A related point is that, as you have said, many people have simply drifted into long-term economic inactivity following furlough and it has been hard to get them back.
The number of economically inactive people in Scotland increased over the quarter, mainly due to 5,000 men becoming economically inactive, the number of inactive women increased by 2,000.
Over the year the increase in the inactivity level mainly came from an extra 11,000 inactive women whilst the number of inactive men increased by 5,000.
