"...the IEA is the home of good economic analysis applied to public policy." – Allister Heath, City AM
A ground-breaking new study Work Longer, Live Healthier, has found that retirement has a detrimental impact on both mental and physical health over time. Although initially there may be a small bounce in health, over the medium-longer term retirement causes a drastic decline in health. The research has been featured on BBC Breakfast, Radio 4 Today Programme, BBC News, The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent and the Daily Mail, amongst others. Download the report here.
Relative poverty measures are deeply flawed, but that does make absolute measures any better. Poverty is not absolute. Perceptions of what is a ‘necessity’ and what is merely a convenience change over time. Our great-grandparents would not have considered a washing machine, central heating or an indoor bathroom to be necessities. To us, they are necessities, and this is simply because we live in societies where virtually every household has these items.
Invest in the IEA. We are the catalyst for changing consensus and influencing public debate.
