    This summer will likely be the UK's hottest on record. What implications does that have for the homes we live in? Some at-risk groups, and people who can't modify their home, are over-represented in dwellings most at risk of getting too hot in heatwaves ➡️

    What's on the high street? Our analysis suggests that the poorest parts of the country have roughly three times the share of ‘health reducing’ amenities (takeaways, off-licences, betting and vape shops) on the high street, while lacking public toilets.

    Data does not suggest that low paid jobs are falling. Across occupations in the year to April 2025, jobs growth in below-median-pay roles was 2ppts stronger than above the median. In fact, shifting employment across occupations had very little effect on pay growth.

    Our latest analysis looks at Britain's productivity revival. Forget the hype and gloom – Britain is experiencing a broad-based productivity recovery 👇 buff.ly/2CT8pyE
    Simon Pittaway, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“Britain’s dismal productivity record since the global financial crisis explains a lot of its economic stagnation and weak living standards growth. But while official figures suggest that the output of workers has worsened further in the mid-2020s, our more accurate productivity measure suggests that it has been improving in recent years.

“Some have suggested that recent productivity gains have been driven by an early AI boom, and workers leaving low-productivity sectors like retail and hospitality. But nether explanation is borne out by the data. Instead, the UK’s productivity recovery has been achieved by the same workers, doing the same jobs, and working in the same sectors.

“This productivity recovery is welcome, but it needs to be sustained and built upon if it’s lead to big improvements in living standards. That should be front of mind for the Chancellor John Healey as he prepares for his first Budget.”
