What does the future hold for Britain?
18 May 2021
An enquiry into Britain's future over the next decade is being launched today (Tuesday 18 May 2021). It is a joint collaboration between the Resolution Foundations and the London School of Economics. The report can be seen here.
This is what they have to say "...Its contention is that the 2020s look set to be the decisive decade during which the UK will need to renew its approach to achieving economic success.
The seismic changes set to impact the UK economy in this decade - the Covid-19 aftermath, Brexit, the Net Zero transition, an older population and rapid technological change - need to be managed well, with those who lose out supported through the process.
The report:
- Describes the scale and nature of change that the 2020s may bring
- Examines how ready for large-scale change the UK is
- Outlines the economic backdrop to the 2020s
- And, demonstrates the importance of managing change well in this decade"
