A report for the UK Government: What causes inequality? Is it important?

About

From reforming measurement techniques to getting to the roots of inequality, particularly the pivotal role of education, we delved into the profound impact on economic growth, stability, crime, and health. By advocating for reduced inequality, we aim to guide the UK Government toward policies that foster societal well-being & harmony.

Abstract

In this publication, we navigate the complicated scenarios of inequality, unfolding its definitions and measurement complexities. Also, unraveling income and wealth as key metrics, we scrutinize their correlations with education, happiness, and health. Our findings advocate for a reduction in inequality, positing its potential benefits for the UK population.
