Robert is Deputy Director at the IFS. His research focuses primarily on the labour market, the drivers of income and wealth inequalities, and the design of the welfare system. Currently this includes work examining the impacts on jobs and pay of rises in the minimum wage, the short and long term effects of the universal credit reform to working-age benefits, and the impacts of changes in the demand for different skills on the prospects of different workers.

Our annual event for IFS members will take place online this year, giving our supporters an exclusive insight into the work going on behind the scenes at the institute and providing an opportunity to ask questions directly to senior researchers.
In this event, IFS researchers shared the findings from a new report, funded by the Nuffield foundation, that makes projections of the inheritances to be received by those born in the 1960, 1970s and 1980s in the UK, and examines the implications for living standards and economic inequalities both now and in future.
