Impact on Social & Economic Policy
The Centre's research in the 90's on long-term unemployment has formed the intellectual basis underpinning the New Deal, the Working Families Tax Credit and the Minimum Wage. Its work on skills, especially numeracy, formed the basis for the National Skills Audit and the reform of apprenticeship. Its staff have been actively involved in policy advice, Richard Layard advising the Department for Education and Skills on the New Deal, Stephen Nickell, Charles Bean and Willem Buiter on the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, David Metcalf on the Low Pay Commission, Paul Gregg on the Chancellor's Council of Economic Advisers, Hilary Steedman an adviser to the DfES on apprenticeship; Tony Venables, Chief Economist at DfID and a former director of the World Bank Trade Research (2000); and John Van Reenen a senior policy analyst working on the NHS Plan for the Secretary of State for Health.
