Social Policy in a Cold Climate (SPCC) Data explorer

Social Policy in a Cold Climate is a large programme of independent research designed to document the combined impact of economic and political changes on poverty, inequality and income distribution in the UK between 2007 and 2015, covering the periods of both Labour and Coalition governments. It is funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Nuffield Foundation and Trust for London, and carried out by a team of researchers based mainly at the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion at LSE. The reports, analysis and data from the Social Policy in a Cold Climate programme are all available on this website.
