Can we end the wealth gap?
2nd April 2025 - 4:00 – 5:30pm Online

The Fairness Foundation, a think tank that works to persuade politicians that tackling inequality in the UK should be a policy, political and moral priority, has recently published a Wealth Gap Risk Register. 

This online resource collates evidence about the impacts of wealth inequality in the UK, how to reduce it and mitigate its impacts, and public attitudes to all of this. The Foundation are planning to keep this resource updated with the latest evidence and to publish a second iteration in October 2025.

This webinar, hosted by Academics Stand Against Poverty UK, invites the Fairness Foundation to present the key findings from their register and outline their solutions to addressing the Wealth Gap. 

Responding to the presentation will be Dr Tania Burchardt, Associate Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE), Deputy Director of STICERD, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics.

The Q&A and discussion will focus on the ongoing significance of wealth inequalities and to consider what evidence on impacts and solutions is missing from the first iteration of the Wealth Gap Risk Register, and how this resource could most usefully be developed in the future.
