The latest Clarion Index, based on feedback from over 2,000 residents, showed 56% of working-age residents were in work, up from 50% last year.

Research from L&W, CtW and the IES found those in work are twice as likely to be in lower-skilled jobs and are paid on average a third less than people in other tenures.

The survey will look at job satisfaction, career development, sector challenges, diversity and inclusion, and what young workers want to see in the years ahead.

Joanne Segars OBE said: “Investing in affordable housing presents an opportunity to generate strong financial returns for our members."

The report focused on actionable steps rather than policy changes, drawing on contributions from leaders across various housing organisations.
