🚨 New research published today Our latest report by Richmond Egyei @emilyfry.bsky.social‬ ‪‪@tasoskitsos.bsky.social‬ @gthwaites.bsky.social @dalilariba.bsky.social‬ & Enrico Vanino looks at the impact of place in regional inequality. Read more ⬇️ buff.ly/ycjN6KI
Greg Thwaites, Research Director at the Resolution Foundation, said:
“England is beset by stark and persistent geographic wage inequalities, with Londoners’ typical earning twice as much as those living in places like Liskeard or Cromer. It’s often assumed that people are driving these divides, but in fact place-based pay penalties are rife across England. A typical early career worker could lose out on £1,300 a year just because of where their job is located.
“Policy makers at local, regional and national levels can address these divides by creating the conditions for high-paying firms to locate to their areas, while avoiding an arms race between regions in subsidies for firms.
“Moving to higher-paying areas can hugely boost young people’s career earnings, but housing is a major barrier to making these moves. Policy makers should do more to bring these housing barriers down.”

The October floods in Valencia were of a magnitude expected only once every 3,000-5,000 years, and claimed the lives of over 200 people. Political leaders, on the day and over the decades, failed to pay attention to the warning signs — or issue them as the waters surged. www.ft.com/content/6199...
