Jeevun Sandher & Daniel Button (2023): Investing in our care workforce will address unmet care needs. It will also have other knock-on economic, environmental and equality benefits. Raising pay and conditions in this low-paid sector will lead to higher wages and employment, especially in more deprived areas. Care jobs are also green jobs, meaning they emit less carbon than other forms of work. As women undertake the majority of paid and unpaid care work, an expanded and better-paid care workforce will also help to reduce gender inequality.

Seema Syeda & Titus Molkenbur (2023): The far right is organising internationally to build a globally connected movement of ethno-nationalists that share Muslim communities as a common target. The left and progressive response must also be international.

Stephen Frost, Becca Massey-Chase, Luke Murphy (2022): At COP27 and COP15 global leaders had the opportunity to set out a new vision for transport, one that would protect and restore nature, rapidly reduce carbon emissions and be fair to all. By over emphasising the role of electric vehicles in the future of the transport system, they are limiting the progress we can secure this decade and making it harder to keep 1.5 degrees within reach. This blog shines a light on UK and Germany in particular and argues that both must show bolder leadership on this agenda and commit to a transformative, equitable vision for transport.

Frances Foley (2022): Authored by Frances Foley, Deputy Director of Compass, and with a foreword by Lisa Nandy MP, the Shadow Levelling Up Secretary, this publication details the ways in which the UK can learn from Germany in order to rebuild and restructure the economy to ensure that it works for everyone.

Yasser Louati & Seema Syeda (2022): From far-right politicians entering the mainstream to long-term systemic discrimination in employment, housing, education, sport and services, Muslims are one of Europe's most targeted populations.

(Luke Raikes) 2022: In recent years, UK policymakers have sought to learn from Germany's relatively successful attempts to rebalance regional growth since reunification. But the UK must learn the right lessons from Germany, to address its severe regional inequalities.
