NNDM6210 Lee Waters (Llanelli) Jeremy Miles (Neath) Vikki Howells (Cynon
Valley) Hefin David (Caerphilly) To propose that the
National Assembly for Wales: 1. Notes that approximately
40 per cent of the workforce is employed in the 'Foundational Economy'
supplying essential goods and services such as: infrastructures; utilities;
food processing, retailing and distribution; and health, education and care. 2. Recognises that these
sectors are often more resilient to external economic shocks and have
considerable potential to generate greater local value from the provision of
localised goods and services. 3. Regrets that many of the
sectors within the Foundation Economy are marked by low paid and insecure jobs 4. Calls on the Welsh
Government to develop a strategy to maximise the impact of the 'Foundational
Economy' across Wales as part of its work on developing a new economic
strategy, including measures to improve employment conditions in those sectors.
