This event launched our state of the nation report, UK Poverty 2017.
The most up to date picture on poverty in the UK today
Keynote address: Rt Hon Robert Halfon MP, Chair of the Education Select Committee
The research assesses the progress the UK is making in reducing poverty and tackling its underlying drivers.
It looks at how a generation are living in poverty in the prime of life, because the routes to building a decent, secure life are increasingly out of reach.
The launch also included a panel discussion to explore how British politics responds to the challenges set out in the report.
The report, which has been produced in-house by the JRF Analysis Unit for the first time, examines poverty rates in the UK, and looks at how figures have changed over the past two decades.

Rebalancing for what? Rebalancing for whom?The uneven geographies of urban ...Simon Parker
Presentation to the session 'Between the Punitive and the Supportive II: Urban Social Policy's 'Messy Middle Ground’, Association of American Geographers Meeting Los Angeles, 12 April 2013.
The Women And Work Commission found that unleashing women’s full potential could be worth £23 billion a year to the Exchequer. To put this into context, this year’s central government budget for Education is £28.6 billion.

Coalition Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to make Britain a truly family friendly country. This pledge created an opportunity for the government to 'family-proof' its new policies, creating conditions that really help families thrive. However, as the 2010 Report Card shows, there is a considerable distance to go before this aspiration can be achieved.
Talk by Dr Simon Duffy for Citizen Advice Derbyshire Districts, June 7th 2017. He explores the reality poverty is mitigated and created by the political system and particularly examines tax-benefit changes between 1997 and 2014.
This presentation by David Sinclair of ILC-UK asks whether the Web can save social care.
It argues that:
*We have more older people and are going to need more care
*Care is in crisis today. It is likely to get worse before it gets better
*Technology has a role to play
*But we have assumed the place of technology without addressing the barriers
*There are some challenges to overcome
Government support for the self-employed in the UK has crashed, as for the first time ever more women than men have started working for themselves. With lower than ever investment or support, is this new generation of enterprising women being set-up to fail?

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.
