#UK #Universities are in a financial pickle, with #fees struggling to cover the cost of #tuition.

Nicholas Barr @lse-ei.bsky.social @lsepublicpolicy.bsky.social argues that one effective solution would be for the Government to recoup more money from #StudentLoans @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social.

🇨🇱 As Chile's presidential campaign shows, countries can grow prosperous while growing increasingly grumpy, argues SPP Dean Andrés Velasco. That is why the choice for voters could be between a Communist and a Trump wannabe. @projectsyndicate.bsky.social 👇

The UK government should prioritise creating good-quality jobs, a strong industrial policy and reforming the welfare system to tackle in-work poverty.

Thomas Stephens @lse-sticerd-case.bsky.social @lsepublicpolicy.bsky.social for @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social
The role of “good jobs” in tackling in-work poverty - British Politics and Policy at LSE
Labour is right to focus on "good jobs" but, Thomas Stephens warns, this Government ambition needs to be coupled with its Industrial Strategy and deeper reforms to the welfare system.

30% of children in the UK live in poverty.

Abolishing the two-child benefit limit would be a great investment - British Politics and Policy at LSE
Abolishing the Two-Child Benefit limit and overall Benefit Cap is good policy not just for ethical reasons but because investment in children pays off.
