There are around 13 million low-to-middle income families across Britain today. This diverse group of families are at the heart of the country’s economic prospects, and any government’s political mandate. And yet they are poorly understood – who they are, how their lives have changed, and the stresses and strains they are under. In order to better understand low-to-middle income Britain, the Resolution Foundation is launching a new 12-month project –with support from JPMorganChase – which will also investigate what can be done to boost their living standards. 
The Unsung Britain project was launched with new research, and a speech by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook at an event at our Westminster offices.
Speakers:
Matthew Pennycook, Minister of State for Housing and Planning
Polly Toynbee, Author and Columnist at The Guardian
Abigail McKnight, Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion at the LSE
Lalitha Try, Economist at the Resolution Foundation
Gavin Kelly, Executive Chair of the Resolution Foundation (Chair)
