Type: IFS Briefing Notes Authors: Alastair Muriel, David Phillips and Luke Sibieta
In this Briefing Note, we assess the changes to living standards that have occurred under the first 11 years of the Labour government, setting out how average incomes, income inequality and poverty have changed between 1996-97 and 2007-08 (the latest year for which data on all three are available). We compare these changes with what happened under previous governments. Search |
