Prosperity 2030 Report Launch

  • The British Academy London UK (map)

Launch of a new costed, sequenced programme of structural reform for the UK presented as a 5 year programme for the next government.

The United Kingdom faces an accumulating set of structural problems that no government of the last fifty years has been able to address at the scale required. Household insecurity has deepened, public infrastructure has decayed, local democratic capacity has hollowed, and the welfare system traps the people it was meant to support. Each problem has been the subject of literatures, reviews, and incremental reform; none has reached the depth of structural change the conditions now demand. Prosperity 2030 argues that the failures of the last half-century are structural rather than moral, and will be solved by rebuilding the institutions rather than remaking the people who live in them.

Prosperity 2030 is an output of the Social Prosperity Network, hosted at the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity under the direction of Co-Chairs Professor Dame Henrietta Moore and Andrew Percy. Building on a decade of research on Universal Basic Services, tax reforms, and structural redesign, it is presented as apolitical and non-partisan, for serious consideration by any government that engages with structural reform.
