Wealth inequality in the UK is higher than it was 30 years ago and far greater than income inequality.

The new Wealth Gap Risk Register from @fairness.bsky.social explains why this matters and how wealth disparities affect every part of society, from housing and health to gender equality.
❗️Our new research shows how the wealth gap grew by 54% between 2011 & 2021, locking more and more people out of a fair chance to succeed.

📈Our Wealth Gap Risk Register 2025 reveals how this extreme divide holds back economic growth & harms community cohesion.
