The cumulative impact on living standards of public spending changes

This report looks at the impact of changes to public spending on protected groups in England, Scotland and Wales up to the tax year 2021 to 2022.

It makes recommendations for the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments to:

• lessen the negative impacts of public spending changes
• conduct equality impact assessments of all spending plans

The research was carried out by Landman Economics and Aubergine Analysis.

It follows on from our report on the cumulative impact of tax and welfare reforms, published in March 2018.
