Contact: Ruth Lupton This programme is designed to examine the effects of the major economic and political changes in the UK since 2007, particularly their impact on the distribution of wealth, poverty, inequality and social mobility.The analysis includes policies and spending decisions from the last Labour government, including the beginning of the financial crisis, as well as those made by the Coalition government since May 2010. We launched a set of reports covering the Labour governments social policy record in the period up to 2010 on 1st July 2013, and published further set of reports in January 2015 on the Coalition's record 2010-2015. You can find publications from this research programme and video presentations and slides from the launch event here . Click here for Ruth Lupton's blog on the Coalition papers. If you missed the March 2015 launch of Falling Behind, Getting Ahead: The Changing Structure of Inequality in the UK and The Changing Anatomy of Economic Inequality in London there is a video, slides and a podcast available of this event.
