Centre for Progressive Policy
The Centre for Progressive Policy is an economics think tank that champions inclusive growth. By working with national and local partners, our aim is to devise effective, pragmatic policy solutions to drive productivity and shared prosperity in the UK. Inclusive growth is one of the most urgent questions facing advanced economies where stagnant real wages are squeezing living standards and wealth is increasingly concentrated. The Centre believes that a new approach to growth is needed, harnessing the best of central and local government to shape the national economic environment and build on the assets and opportunities of place. The Centre seeks to identify practical ways to increase productivity and enhance shared prosperity. Our research programme covers four broad and interlinking areas, each of which assumes a national and local lens: • Trade and Competitiveness • Sustainable Public Finances • Strategic Economic Infrastructure • Public Services, Welfare and Skills The Centre for Progressive Policy is funded by Lord David Sainsbury, as part of his work on public policy. _______________ You can also find us on twitter @CentreProPolicy
