A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and help manage conditions like depression and anxiety. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.
Building pressure? Rising rents, and what to expect in the futureResolutionFoundation
The combination of high house prices and stagnating incomes over recent decades, coupled with the decline of social housing, mean that millions more of us are private renters. And they are renting for longer too. Private rents have risen swiftly in the wake of the pandemic. What happens next matters hugely for millions of families, and yet the drivers of private rental costs are poorly understood with a range of explanations being proposed for the post-pandemic surge.
To what extent has landlords selling up driven the recent rise in rental prices? Or are other factors – such as earnings growth or higher interest rates – more significant? What should we expect the future to hold for rents? And what does this mean for renters, landlords, and policymakers?
The Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of the key highlights from new research on what is driving recent trends in private sector rent levels, we will hear from leading experts on the short and longer-term outlook.

The document discusses longevity and population trends over time. It notes that while Malthus predicted overpopulation would be a problem, human ingenuity solved this through innovation, investment, and institutions. Now, life expectancy has increased dramatically meaning most people will live to an old age. However, simply living longer is not enough - people need to age in a healthy, productive way. A second longevity revolution is needed focused on how to age well. This revolution aims to create longer, healthier lives where people remain engaged and productive for longer.

The document proposes several reforms to the UK tax and financial system to make wealth and housing more affordable and equitable across generations. It recommends reforming capital gains tax and inheritance tax to tax wealth accumulation, fixing issues with the council tax system, using macroprudential tools to stabilize the housing market, expanding mortgage insurance and long-term fixed rate mortgages to protect households, reviewing auto-enrollment pension contribution rates, and creating intergenerational risk-sharing mechanisms for state pensions and collective defined contribution plans.

Game changer? Assessing the Budget’s economic, and electoral, impactResolutionFoundation
The upcoming Spring Budget may be the last big fiscal event before the General Election, one of few chances for the government to set the terms of the economic debate. And with the government trailing heavily in the polls, and the economy entering a mild recession at the end of last year, the pressure is on to make it a game-changing Budget economically and electorally. But the Chancellor will also have to confront real trade-offs if he’s deliver a Budget that works for both the next six months, and the five years after that.
How big are the Chancellor’s tax cuts? Do they change the big picture of the government’s wider tax raising plans? What is the outlook for public services after the election? Where does the government plan to take the social security system, as it copes with rising numbers of us being sick or disabled? And will any of this make any difference to who forms the next government, and what they’re able to do?
The Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of the key highlights from the Resolution Foundation’s overnight analysis of Spring Budget 2024, we’ll hear from leading experts on what the Budget means for the election, and the economy.

Wifi networks can be expensive to implement and maintain, while also being inefficient and ineffective at times. Pension participation among workers has increased significantly in recent years, rising from 47% in 2012 to 79% in 2021. When workers' take-home pay is reduced, about a third of that reduction leads to lower consumption, while the remainder results from less liquid savings or increased debt levels.

- The document discusses measuring and improving UK research and development (R&D) statistics.
- The ONS has taken several actions to improve R&D measurements, including engaging with other departments and using new data sources. This has resulted in more granular and reliable R&D estimates.
- Going forward, the ONS aims to further improve subnational data on government funded R&D and better understand the impact of revised R&D estimates on other economic statistics like GDP and productivity.
The UK economy is stagnant, limiting opportunities for pay increases and income growth across all age groups. Younger Britons, especially millennials, have received a disproportionately small share of economic gains compared to older generations. Younger generations also face larger initial challenges in achieving milestones like homeownership compared to past generations.
