To move forward on the issue, governments on the left and right should make better policies whose benefits to voters are clear.

The average advertised salary hit a new record last month despite a fall in vacancies, showing firms remain willing to compete on pay to attract top talent, a new survey suggests.
According to job search site Adzuna, the average annual advertised salary passed £40,000 for the first time in December.
