| 15 | )))|((( | ||
| 16 | Monetary income is vital in a developed market economy where access to various aspects of life is largely determined by financial resources (either directly or indirectly). This was clearly identified as fundamental in the Oxfam workshop, as well as through secondary sources and discussions with stakeholders. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | As well as providing some level of income, there is significant evidence that work is central to people’s physical, emotional and mental health, and should therefore be included in the Doughnut model. The quality of work – not just its remuneration – impacts on people’s ability to maintain good mental health and to engage in non-work activities in the community and with family. This is made clear in the Humankind Index, which identified satisfying, secure and suitable work that pays an adequate income as central. | ||
