    LEADING RESEARCH ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMY The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) is an independent nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to strengthening prosperity and human welfare in the global economy through expert analysis and practical policy solutions.

  • The National Living Wage and Falling Earnings Inequality
    The National Living Wage and falling earnings inequality Abigail McKnight and Kerris Cooper Contents Key findings Implications for policy and practice The National Minimum Wage and the National Living Wage Earnings inequality and the NMW/NLW Relationship between NMW/NLW and earnings at 10th percentile Minimum wages can reduce inequality when set high enough Data Appendix: Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings Acknowledgements About the publication and the authors CASEbrief 38 Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion March 2020 London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE CASE enquiries – tel: 020 7955 6679 Key findings • Inequality in weekly and hourly earnings has fallen since the introduction of the National Living Wage in April 2016. This is the first rapid fall since at least the late 1970s. • The replacement of the National Minimum Wage with the more generous National Living Wage for employees aged 25 and over has led to a compression in the lower half of the wage and weekly earnings distributions. • The National Living Wage now touches the 10th percentile of the wage distribution for all employees (which includes lower paid part- time employees) and the gap between the minimum wage rate and the 10th percentile of the wage distribution for full-time employees has narrowed markedly. Implications for policy and practice • Set high enough, with sufficient ‘bite’, minimum wages can be effective at reducing wage and earnings inequality. • Without a minimum wage (set either through collective bargaining or legislation), market set wages result in low paid workers being paid even lower rates. Increases in their wage rates, to rates approaching 60% of median pay, can be achieved without substantial loss of employment.

  • How Do British Political Parties Mobilise and Contact Voters To
    How do British political parties mobilise and contact voters to increase turnout? Submitted by William Stephen King to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of MA by Research in Politics In August 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract This thesis will explore how British political parties over the period 2010-2017 have developed their mobilisation and contacting methods. Looking at social media, demographics, and other salient issues, I will construct a coherent and clear narrative of how British political parties have reacted to new technology, and what the advantages and disadvantages of doing so are. I shall be looking in particular at youth political mobilisation and contact, as this demographic has a poor election turnout record, so I shall explain why this is and how British political parties are attempting to contact and mobilise them (and how they have done so successfully). Looking at the 2010, 2015, and 2017 General Elections as well as the 2014 EU and 2016 referendums, this will enable me to take a look at Britain in different political times and differing levels of technology, from the first TV debates in 2010 to the first social media election in 2017.

  • A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
    A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 26 June 2020 This is a briefing for BIA members on the Government led by Boris Johnson and key ministerial appointments for our sector after the December 2019 General Election and February 2020 Cabinet reshuffle. Following the Conservative Party’s compelling victory, the Government now holds a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. The life sciences sector is high on the Government’s agenda and Boris Johnson has pledged to make the UK “the leading global hub for life sciences after Brexit”. With its strong majority, the Government has the power to enact the policies supportive of the sector in the Conservatives 2019 Manifesto. All in all, this indicates a positive outlook for life sciences during this Government’s tenure.
