Living Standards and 'Levelling Up' Hub
This hub showcases research evidence and thinking from the social sciences and offers informed perspectives on issues relating to living standards, equality, and the ‘levelling up’ policy agenda. It explores the challenges our society faces across the four nations of the UK, including addressing the the current ‘cost of living crisis’.
The hub provides evidence-based advice on some of the potential solutions to these challenges. It covers areas including economics and investment; welfare and taxation; education; public health; a range of regional/spatial challenges; behavioural science; and technology and innovation.
