Entering work and the British tax and benefit system
The report shows what differentiates the individuals in the survey who entered work over a twelve month period from those who remained out of work over the course of a year. It examines how the distribution of hourly wages earned by new entrants into jobs differs from the distribution of wages for those already in work. This 'entry wage' information is just used to estimate gains to working for people who are currently unemployed or inactive, and…
Reliability and affordability
This article explores UK public preferences on an illustrative progressive transport policy grounded in state ownership and control elicited within a complex and methodologically diverse series of surveys (1) n=693; 2) n=10; 3) n=2,200) of adult UK residents conducted in January 2024 in the run up to the UK General Election. We analyse survey 3 to show that levels of support for transport reform are high across parties and demographic groups, and…
Reducing avoidable deaths and energy poverty
The United Kingdom Government has highlighted the importance of energy security, energy affordability and a transition to net zero as policy priorities. However, there is concern that the most efficient means of achieving this – nationalisation of the grid and parts of generation and supply – require taxation that is not electorally feasible. It is often asserted that there is an apparent paradox in this regard, such that those who have most to g…
UK resident preferences on tax reform
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has described the UK economy as being in its worst state since 1945. Unlike the Labour Government of 1945, Reeves has rejected Beveridge-style public investment, in part because of claims of public support for fiscal restraint. We report findings of innovative, iterative mixed-methods survey (1) n = 693; 2) n = 10; 3) n = 2200) analysis of a programme for progressive tax reform designed to achieve c…

What principles ought to underpin ‘Radical Prevention Funds’? Ten principles capable of addressing social determinants to promote public health
The UK Government has increasingly concluded that ‘prevention is better than cure’ on the basis that preventive health interventions are more cost-effective than reactive services in delivering additional years in good health for the population. However, UK health and care systems are under intense financial pressure that preclude their shifting resources upstream to address social determinants of health. A separate Radical Prevention Fund (RPF) …
Exploring UK residents’ views on substantive education reform
Substantive reform capable of addressing multiple crises within the UK education system is often rejected on the basis that public opposition to tax and investment precludes politicians from implementing reform, even though policymakers may otherwise wish to do so. Here, we analyse data from a methodologically diverse series of surveys (1) n = 693; (2) n = 10; (3) n = 2,200 of adult UK residents conducted between November 2023-January 2024 examin…
Anxiety, Insecurity, and Redistribution in the UK ‘Red Wall’
Anxiety is often seen as a driver of far-right politics in British political culture that is strategically irrational insofar as the consequences of the policies pursued by such parties contribute to an increase in poverty and inequality, which are drivers of anxiety. This article shows that anxiety can also drive voter support for strategically rational, progressive policies, which hold out a real prospect for addressing the threats that voters …
Changing circumstances and new basic premises
Changing circumstances and new basic premises: turning the affordability and feasibility relationship on its head: a reply to ‘The big tax hikes that make UBI “affordable” could be used to cut poverty in more targeted ways’ by Donald Hirsch 1" published on Feb 2023 by Policy Press
Universal Basic Income is affordable and feasible
Critics of Universal Basic Income (UBI) have claimed that it would be either unaffordable or inadequate. This discussion paper tests this claim by examining the distributional impacts of three UBI schemes broadly designed to provide pathways to attainment of the Minimum Income Standard (MIS). We use microsimulation of data from the Family Resources Survey to outline the static distributional impacts and costs of the schemes. Our key finding is th…
Can the ‘downward spiral’ of material conditions, mental health and faith in government be stopped? Evidence from surveys in ‘red wall’ constituencies
If policy preferences follow material interests, the experience of socioeconomic disadvantage ought to increase support for redistributive policies. However, experiencing disadvantage might also reduce faith in government’s ability to make things better, indirectly reducing support for redistributive action, and leading to a spiral of widening disadvantage and increasing political disengagement. Indeed, disadvantaged communities sometimes favour …
Can Universal Basic Income work for disabled people? An examination of existing UK organisational and academic positions
Universal Basic Income (UBI) has been proposed as a means of addressing a range of issues relating to welfare systems, including by removing disincentives to economic, social and physical activity. However, UK disability organisations and figures have expressed concerns about whether UBI could lead to unintended consequences for people who currently receive support conditional on needs, means and/or behaviour. In this article, we outline prominen…

The Distributional Impact of Tax and Social Security Reforms in the UK from 2010 to 2017
This article presents the results from a cumulative impact assessment of the distribution of tax and social security reforms in the UK since the 2010 general election. The analysis covers the 2010-15 and 2015-17 parliaments plus measures announced in the Autumn 2017 Budget. The article finds that taken as a whole, reforms since 2010 have had a regressive impact across the household income distribution, with average losses of around 10 per cent of…

The Impact of the New Deal for Young People on the Labour Market
© Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2003. Currently there are about 120,000 18-24 year olds participating in the New Deal for Young People (NDYP). About three-quarters of participants are male and they are much less skilled than the population as a whole.Evaluations of the NDYP in the first few years of the programme show that it has had a significant affect on raising the proportion of people leaving unemployment and…
The Returns to Higher Education in Britain
We use British birth cohort panel data to examine the impact that degree level qualifications and other higher education qualifications have on the earnings of individuals in the medium to longer term. We compare the outcomes of these individuals with those of individuals who had the prospect of undertaking Higher Education but chose not to. Our approach involves 'matching' these individuals according to observed characteristics which we have in …
Intergenerational Mobility in Britain
We use longitudinal data on children and their parents to assess the extent of intergenerational mobility in Britain. Based on data from the National Child Development Survey, a cohort of all individuals born in a week of March 1958, we find that the extent of intergenerational mobility is limited. We report a clear intergenerational correlation between fathers and both sons and daughters in terms of labour market earnings and years of schooling.…
