Title: Understanding attitudes to tackling economic inequality (Summary Report)
The Skinny: Identifies:
- people’s views about income inequality, and their attitudes towards those at the ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ of the income spectrum;
- people’s attitudes towards policy responses to economic inequality and public service interventions to improve opportunities for disadvantaged groups;
- the underlying ‘drivers’ of these attitudes, focusing particularly on what factors underpin judgements about fairness;
- the existence and distribution of distinct attitudes towards economic inequality within the population; and
- how different groups respond to particular arguments for and against tackling inequality, and how a public consensus for tackling inequality might be built.
