@JohnnyRunge in @signmagazine on trusting stats - from baby names to house moves - and how official stats should respond: doi.org/10.1093/jrssig/qmaf0…

🚨Official stats are not just for stats geeks! My piece in @signmagazine shows people often use stats for personal decisions without realising. I argue we must make the hidden use visible, and prioritise public users. Based on our @policyatkings research for @StatsRegulation.

Stats offices around the world face declining response rates. Big problem if, like me, you think data on, say, the labour force is critical national infrastructure. What to do? IMO an underexplored option is national ad campaigns explaining importance of responding to surveys...

Today @homelessimpact published our research evaluating the impact of @educationgovuk’s Staying Put policy on homelessness. We find that increasing take up by 13% would prevent 300+ young people experiencing homelessness.

Youth rates
The NMW youth rates are at the centre of our thinking on the future of the NMW. We’ve recommended the Government consider lowering the gap between the youth rates and adult rates and further reducing the NLW age of eligibility.

Recommendations
Today we published our advice to the Government on minimum wage policy after 2024. After several years of ambitious increases, this year we expect to hit the long-term target of two-thirds of median earnings. So what should happen next?
