The First Minister laid out plans for new legislation on a number of areas - including increasing the Scottish Child Payment and freezing rail fares.
Speaking to MSPs at Holyrood the SNP leader said: "This Programme for Government is published in the context of the most severe cost crisis in our lifetimes. It is pushing millions into poverty, threatening the viability of businesses and will almost certainly push the UK economy into recession.
