Almost £4k a year short. This is the number 1 problem Labour needs to fix
Maintenance loans. If someone’s family income was £25,000 in 2007, if we adjusted for average UK wages growth since, that would now be £40,075. Blue bars are what a family has been entitled to in each of the years. Red are what they would have been entitled to if inflation had applied to their loan properly. Yellow are what the maximum loan was that year for that family. Green bars are what the maximum loan should have been that year for that family if inflation had applied to their loan properly. The difference between blue and green is the new implied parental contribution.
