The RSA launches a Charter for the Self-employed, which contains eight practical policy ideas designed to improve the living standards of people who work for themselves. These include:
- redesigning Universal Credit
- introducing automated saving schemes
- mandating equal treatment under the Work Programme,
- establishing a new form of pension auto-enrolment.
The list of ideas is by no means exhaustive – the research reports contain several other proposals for consideration – but the RSA believes these to be the most realistic, cost-effective and impactful…and we would broadly agree with them.
RSA’s ultimate aim? To ensure that more people can take part in the kind of meaningful self-employment that, at its best, enables them to flourish as creative individuals. It’s a nice fit with the work our members do each and every day.
To accompany the launch of the Charter, RSA also created this short animation showing the enduring (and often hidden) importance of privilege in the world of entrepreneurship.
