This Framework builds on the good work already underway across Scotland and illustrates progress with actions in support of our shared objectives. On the basis of the available evidence and the response to our extensive consultation, the Framework sets out further priorities for action and investment to deliver improvement across four main areas: reducing income inequalities; introducing longer-term measures to tackle poverty and the drivers of low income; supporting those experiencing poverty or at risk of falling into poverty; and making the tax credits and benefits system work better for Scotland.
