The Legal & General Rebuilding Britain Index (RBI) has revealed that the provision of jobs and good quality affordable housing will define the UK’s progress in ‘building back better’.
The RBI was established to measure the UK’s progress on a quarterly basis, following government commitments to ‘level up’ the economy; it found that measures to support recovery cannot be uniform or linear, with different nations, regions and communities needing to level up in different ways.
The index tracks social and economic progress across the country, using a combination of statistical data and community opinion across 51 measures, including health and social care, education, housing, jobs and economic prosperity, environment, energy, transport and digital.
