This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Susan Aitken:- "Council is concerned at ongoing high levels of poverty in Glasgow, particularly child poverty, as a consequence of many factors, including a shortage of well-paid and sustainable jobs for Glaswegians. Council notes the recent Joseph Rowntree Foundation briefing, Poverty and Work in Scotland, and the finding that the risk of a family being in poverty depends on its work intensity: the more hours worked by the adults in a family, the lower its risk of poverty. Higher wages strengthen this effect. Council further notes steps taken in Glasgow to improve employment prospects, to create and maintain opportunities to work and start new enterprises and to take steps to alleviate the effects of poverty. As the powerhouse of Scotland's economy, Glasgow must do more to reduce child poverty through working in collaboration with Government to strengthen our local economy. Council therefore calls on the Leader of the Council to write to the First Minister, following the publication of the Scottish Government's strategy, "Reindustrialising Scotland for the 21st Century: A Sustainable Industrial Strategy for a Modern, Independent Nation", to convene a summit on the re-industrialisation of Glasgow and the west of Scotland, with a view to improving the employment opportunities and life chances of today's - and tomorrow's - workforce.".
