Nothing new under the sun

This report from UK think tank the Adam Smith Institute reflects on the economic problems facing young people in Britain today.

For decades, the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has been at the forefront of pushing policy recommendations that encourage the government to support working-age people, who have been disadvantaged by Government policy. Over 100 research papers from the 1990s to today are focused on issues facing young people, and often, the British labour force at large.

In this piece, we focus on 46 key research papers, from a wide range of authors, relevant to the economic problems facing young people in Britain today, such as the housing crisis, attitudes to government and poor value-for-money education.
