GGF Responds to Plan for Change

Praful Nargund, Director of The Good Growth Foundation, said: “Our research with J.L. Partners has found that growth in the abstract won’t sufficiently resonate with voters. So, the Prime Minister is right to recognise that people are much more concerned about improved living standards. But what do good living standards look like? People are acutely aware of the pound in their pocket. They need a tangible sense of greater financial security before they can even begin to aspire for more. And we know there is a strong preference for greater investment in the human aspect of growth - public services, young people, skills and further education. Making progress in these areas will go a long way to create the type of growth that is both popular and raises living standards.”
