Description

The UK economy is not working. It is no longer delivering rising standards for a majority of the population. Too many people are in insecure jobs; young people are set to be poorer than their parents; the nations and regions of the UK are diverging further.

The IPPR Commission on Economic Justice was established in 2016 in the wake of the vote to leave the EU to examine the challenges facing the UK economy and to make recommendations for reform. Its final report Prosperity and Justice: A Plan for the New Economy, published in September 2018, made the case for a radical overhaul of our economy.

IPPR is now delighted to invite people to take part in an interactive event dedicated to exploring paths to economic justice in Wales. Mark Drakeford AM, First Minister of Wales, will be joined by community leaders, business and trade union representatives to respond to your questions and thoughts on the fairness and prosperity of the nation's economy.

This event is open to all.
