The Welfare Reform Act 2007 (c.5) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which alters the British social security system. A number of sections come into force two months after royal assent and the first commencement order made under the Act specified that section 31 came into force on 1 November 2007. ==The green paper== The green paper is available as a .pdf document from the links at the end of the article. The Government's objectives for the Act, as stated in the green paper were to: *Reach 80% employment amongst all people of working age (it was just shy of 75% when the paper was released). *To reduce the numbers claiming incapacity benefit by 1 million (from 2.7 million at the time). This was later stated to be achieved "within a decade" 〔Hutton, Parliamentary debate on Green Paper.〕 *To help 300,000 lone parents back into work. *To increase the number of older workers, aged fifty or over, in work by 1 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welfare Reform Act 2007」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
