    This report examines how and why people become trapped in long-term cycles of low-paid jobs and unemployment. It found that jobs such as care assistants and factory workers did not act as stepping stones to better employment. The study provides further evidence that the reality for many young adults is getting stuck in the "low-pay, no-pay" cycle rather than their employment leading to increased opportunities.

    This report examines how and why people become


    trapped in a long-term cycle of low-paid jobs and
    unemployment (i.e. the low-pay, no-pay cycle).

    Jobs as care assistants, factory workers, labourers or shop assistants did not act as
    stepping stones to better employment. A key question for the project was whether the low-
    pay, no-pay cycle that entrapped the young adults in our earlier studies in poor transitions
    continued. It did. This study, therefore, provides further evidence that the stepping stones
    thesis does not capture the reality of the working lives of the younger adults in our study.
