Ippr

The IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research) is a think tank that conducts and publishes research and promotes public education in the economic, social, and political sciences, and in science and technology. It focuses on the effect of moral, social, political, and scientific factors on public policy and on the living standards of various sections of the community. The institute produces rigorous and independent policy research, covering a range of local and national policy debates. Its research and policy work is focused around three priority areas: combining fiscal realism with a plan for deep reform of British capitalism; developing relational public services and a more democratic statecraft; and shaping post-crash social politics. The IPPR publishes more than 60 reports each year, addressing a wide range of research and policy questions. Its publications have covered topics such as youth unemployment, childcare, social isolation among older people, and energy market reform. It publishes Juncture, a quarterly journal of politics and ideas. The institute also holds more than 70 events every year. The IPPR was established in 1988 and is headquartered in London, England with presence in Newcastle and Manchester.
