Abstract

This submission draws on a programme of research examining the relationships between income insecurity, mental health, and young people's engagement with employment, education, and training. Our work spans qualitative inquiry into young people's perspectives on income support, qualitative research with public health policymakers on social determinants of health, microsimulation modelling of prospective Basic Income (BI) schemes and welfare reform impacts, longitudinal cohort analysis of income interventions during adolescence, and evaluation of the Welsh Government Basic Income for Care Leavers pilot. Taken together, this body of evidence speaks directly to each of the six thematic areas identified by the Inquiry.
