Open Data Institute & Poverty Strategy Commission reports
Profile photo of James LockwoodWe examine poland rcs data two recently published reports that look at the current cost-of-living crisis and poverty, and how data can aid in alleviating these societal issues.
During 2023 and 2024, the UK Data Service Impact team are seeking to draw together and share examples of how the data in our collection is underpinning research and work in the areas of poverty, deprivation and cost-of-living.
As part of this we recently published a blog post which highlighted the impact some of the data available via the UK Data Service is having on research, policy and public conversations around the areas of poverty, deprivation and the cost-of-living crisis. To do this we pulled together some of the research, reports and articles we noted over the summer that make use of data available in the collection.
In September we were encouraged by two reports that were published which we believe have the potential to be significant in this area and which we wanted to briefly highlight. The reports were from the Open Data Institute (ODI) and the Poverty Strategy Commission (PSC).
