Inwork

Inwork, sometimes written as in-work or Inwork when used as a proper name, is a term used to describe the state of being employed—i.e., engaged in paid work. It also appears as a name or brand in some contexts.

In economics and labor-market sociology, "in work" is a descriptor for individuals who currently hold paid employment. It is used to distinguish those who are working from those who are unemployed or economically inactive, and it underpins concepts such as in-work poverty and in-work benefits.

In policy discussions, in-work programs refer to measures intended to help people move up from low pay or to maintain work during transitions, including wage subsidies, training, childcare support, and employment services. The aim is to increase earnings and career progression while preserving employment.

In statistical practice, employment status categories often include "in work" or "employed" to classify respondents; in some datasets, "in work" aligns with full-time or part-time paid employment as opposed to self-employed or temporary statuses.

The term is also used in branding and product naming; there are no universal standards for its capitalization or hyphenation, so it may appear as Inwork, in-work, or in-work.
