| Annotation | The many radical policy changes since 1997 have occurred at a time of growing demarcation in policy development into lifetime phases: children, working age, and pensioner groups. These findings report a study by researchers in the Centre for Analysis of Social Policy (CASP) at the University of Bath, who used a new, custom-built lifetime simulation programme (the Lifetime Opportunities and Incentives Simulation - LOIS) to see the impact of current policies over the lifetime. The study employed a number of 'model lifetimes' to look at how opportunities potentially unfold or shrivel according to lifetime earnings and events, and how current policy design can lead to 'opportunity traps' which persist throughout individuals' lifetimes. The full report, "The opportunities of a lifetime: model lifetime analysis of current British social policy" by Martin Evans and Jill Eyre, is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), and is available from York Publishing Services. (RH). |
