The Resolution Foundation is an independent research and policy organisation, concerned with how low earners fare in today's mixed welfare economy. We aim to deliver change in areas where this income group is currently disadvantaged by producing new research and actively engaging in the policy-making process.
The Foundation's current project is looking at low earners with respect to the long term care market. It is focusing on how the mixed market of care functions and what reforms are needed to bring about a more efficient and fair market with particular concern for low earners who often fare the worst under the current system. We hope to complement existing research and analysis and bring a fresh perspective to a debate which is rapidly rising up the agenda following the announcement that a Green Paper will be published in 2009.

Our first project explored low earner's access to financial services, focusing in particular on how to meet their financial advice needs. We produced research and policy proposals and lobbied government to take these forward. This culminated in the Thoresen Review on generic financial advice which published its final report in March. We look forward to the roll out of the national advice service in 2009.
