A collection of essays from Labour in the City 2 WELCOME FROM CICERO Cicero is delighted to support Labour in the City in the publication of its first policy pamphlet. Through our role as a leading public affairs consultancy, representing many of the major British and global financial institutions in the City of London, we recognise the importance of creating a deeper dialogue between those working in the financial sector and those working in the policymaking community. This publication marks a significant contribution to that dialogue. Against the backdrop of the banking crisis, and the era of austerity which has been ushered in since 2008, there is understandable public and policymaker concern at the role of financial markets, and their ability to address Britain’s long standing ills, many of which are addressed in this publication. Notably, this concern focuses on the need to encourage greater long-term investment, boost access to both debt and equity finance for businesses and households, and address the regional and sectoral imbalances within our economy. Britain cannot afford to rely too heavily on London and its financial district. While this debate has justifiably led some to call for a more responsible and ‘socially useful’ financial sector, we must recognise the undeniable benefits the financial sector already creates for the UK, adding nearly £200bn in Gross Added Value to the UK economy in 2011, supporting over 2 million British jobs directly and indirectly, and providing an annual trade surplus of £47bn.

  • The Child Trust Fund in the UK Policy Challenges and Potential Responses
    The Child Trust Fund in the UK Policy Challenges and Potential Responses Rajiv Prabhakar London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine 2009 CSD Working Papers No. 09-56 Campus Box 1196 One Brookings Drive St. Louis, MO 63130-9906 (314) 935.7433 csd.wustl.edu T HE C HILD T RUST F UND IN THE UK The Child Trust Fund in the UK: Policy Challenges and Potential Responses The United Kingdom introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) policy, a children’s savings policy, in 2002. A focus group study conducted on parental attitudes to the CTF (Prabhakar, 2006, 2007) identified main reasons why CTF accounts were left unopened. This paper explores different ways that non-opening of accounts might be reduced. One strategy draws upon recent developments in behavioral economics and points to different ways that the CTF may be designed. An alternative strategy emphasises the role of financial education of parents as a way of addressing their concerns and increasing the opening rates of these accounts. The paper also considers another issue raised during the focus groups, namely parental unhappiness with the treatment of older siblings denied a CTF. This is part of a broader concern about the additional help that may be needed for children from particular backgrounds. Key words: Child Trust Fund; Child Development Fund; children’s savings; financial education; behavioral economics; focus group study; social policy Introduction The Labour government in the UK has recently introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) policy. All babies born from September 2002 receive either a £250 or £500 endowment from government, with children from low-income families qualifying for the higher endowment.
