In our latest Substack, GGF's Insights Manager @Kaihain2 writes up our polling of over a thousand 16-18 year olds earlier this year about their options post-18.
The polling reveals confusion and a system that remains incredibly hard to navigate. 🧵1/6
There are clear divides: students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds (ABC1) are drifting towards university, while those with working-class backgrounds (C2DE) are less sure of their options.
5/6
🚨New Substack 🚨

1/ Too big for councils but too small for national government. Ahead of the Budget, our Good Growth Budget has a fix for the infrastructure projects stuck in the middle: Regionally Significant Infrastructure Projects (RSIPs), greenlit by Metro Mayors🧵
3/ Think smaller reservoirs, stadiums, transport hubs and data centres. Mayors could meet environmental duties by paying into a regional fund. Pair that with fiscal devolution, and places get power and incentives to go for growth.

Research from @GoodGrowthFdn found over half of disabled people would exchange some of their benefits for help with health & work. I was glad to hear @stephenctimms agree that tailored support is vital, and that Labour’s Connect to Work programme is delivering it.
Great to see @deirdrecostigan raise our recent report, ‘Investing in Agency’ that shows half of PIP claimants would swap up to £1,000 in benefit payments to access support that would otherwise be unaffordable such as employment support, therapy or physical aids.

Big thumbs up from us for @WildlifeTrusts' new water campaign, calling for companies failing environmental and financial targets to be turned into co-operatives owned by the public!
Our research set out how this could be achieved - read below ⬇️
Yesterday, at Labour Party Conference, we launched our Good Growth Budget. It’s a set of proposals that is about a fundamental reset of our economic approach: to one which gives people back the freedom to choose and the security to plan.

Social justice and economic growth are inextricably linked. We should be equally driven for both.
Thanks to the @GoodGrowthFdn for publishing my essay on how we organise government around growth in order to deliver social change 👇
