The effects of Covid-19 and double-digit inflation may have faded, but the cost of living remains a top concern for families. Recent tax increases, coupled with rising utility bills and housing costs, are adding to the pressures that households face. The jobs market is loosening with unemployment rising and real-pay rises shrinking. And these domestic pressures sit aside global economic uncertainty that will inevitably impact families at home. How has the outlook for living standards changed in light of recent events? What do these developments mean for the experiences of different households? How might changes in the economic or policy outlook affect households, for better or for worse? And what policies would have the biggest impact for lower-income families? The Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of the key highlights from its latest Living Standards Outlook, funded by Nationwide, we will hear from leading experts on the outlook for different households, and how policy could improve this. The event will be open for people to attend in person, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido.
