Did you know that income inequality in the UK has risen by nearly 60% in the last 50 years? And since the 80s it has ben driven mostly by the very top 1% of earners. No other European country in the OECD scores as badly.

Want to learn more about the British economy in the last decades and how we predict it will go next? The UK Index of Systemic Trends was developed by The Democracy Collaborative as a dashboard charting the health of Britain's political economy across indicators including economic growth, inequality, poverty, financialization, life expectancy, productivity, environmental degradation and trust in government.
