Understanding Society is a longitudinal survey. Every year we ask each member of 1000s of the same households across the UK about different aspects of their life. In each episode of this series, we're exploring how our data has been used in a key area. We'll look at what we found, what it tells us, and what we can learn from it.

In this episode, we're looking at cost of living, who has been hit hardest? And what can government do about it? Here to discuss this are Hamish Low, the James Meade Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford, and Rebecca McDonald, the chief economist of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which works to solve poverty in the UK.
