Research from the Resolution Foundation think tank suggests that 10 of adults own around half of the nations wealth. Our business correspondent, joe lynam, has more. The awful fire at Grenfell Tower has highlighted for many the issue of inequality in britain. Dozens dead in the wealthiest borough in the uk. Now an independent think tank has said inequality has worsened since the Great Recession because fewer people own their own homes. The Resolution Foundation says Property Ownership is now spread less evenly than salaries and incomes are. It says the richest 10 of the population own £5 trillion, or half the uks wealth, while the top 1 of 1496 the uks wealth, while the top 1 of 14 of britains wealth. By contrast, 15 of adults have no or negative wealth. Wealth is arguably the biggest determinant of Living Standards of peoples lives but yet it barely features in todays Living Standards debates and thats a deal because our Research Shows wealthiest barb less bread and incomes and because of declining Property Ownership, declining home ownership, for least wealthy households that inequality has started to go up. The report is part ofa started to go up. The report is part of a wider study into a growing gap between older and younger people. The foundation says older people have incubated wealth due to wider housing rising house prices as well is contemplated pensions which the young wont enjoy.

When they were in the middle of the Pacific Pines suspect it was raging lets talk more about that story, which claims Wealth Inequality across britain is growing. Conor darcy is from the Resolution Foundation think tank, which wrote the report, and we can speak to him now. Good morning to you and thank you for getting up bright and early to talk to us. What has caused this growth in Wealth Inequality . Wealth has always been quite an equally spread, to some extent whether you have a job or not you have some income but the size of wealth youve got is really unequally distributed and thats a long term trend. What we saw in the 19905 and the 20005 wa5 we saw in the 19905 and the 20005 was more and more people were able to buy their own home and that was a really important way of reducing Wealth Inequality a5 really important way of reducing Wealth Inequality as house prices rose Wealth Inequality as House Prices Ro5e quickly and that was a big boon to lower and middle income families. What weve seen since the recession, its not news it is harder to get on the Housing Ladder now, the amount you have to save to get a mortgage in the first place is a lot higher and thats been an important trend and thats been an important trend and we seen this growing Wealth Inequality against and i5 and we seen this growing Wealth Inequality against and is the start of the recession. The office of National Statistics today report earlier this year and they said household Disposable Income and Income Inequality is falling. Who do we believe, theyre more you . They are two Different Things we are talking about. Theres income, how much you have coming in from work or from your benefits, whatever is coming in from day to day and what you have to spend. Wealth i5 coming in from day to day and what you have to spend. Wealth is what we think of when what is left over after that 5pend, think of when what is left over after that spend, your financial a55et5, how much you have in 5aving5, current accounts, how much property wealth you own and how much pension wealth you own. Theres two different trends and definitely Income Inequality has been flat and fallen a bit, and that is welcome, but what weve seen in Wealth Inequality is it is still really high and it is creeping up again in the last few years. You mention house prices, for a lot of people the value of their home is not a reali5able assets for much of their life anyway. Lots of people own a home which on the face of it is worth quite a lot but they are cash poor nonetheless. Thats a really good point. Just because people have lots of well thats not necessarily a guarantee things are hunky dory. It is the value of having your own home. As was mentioned in the piece, we are home. As was mentioned in the piece, we a re interested home. As was mentioned in the piece, we are interested in how this play5 out across the life course and across different generations. If youre a young person today trying to get on the Housing Ladder, thats not just a place for you to to get on the Housing Ladder, thats notjust a place for you to live in the short youre building up an asset you can the short youre building up an a55et you can rely on the short youre building up an asset you can rely on in retirement so when youre finished working you dont have money coming into the 5ame dont have money coming into the 5a m e exte nt dont have money coming into the same extent as during your working life but if youre renting you still have to find money to cover your renting co5ts. Theres a long term dynamic that is really important in wealth. This issue to some extent has been thrown into sharp relief this week with what happened with the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and people have talked about such an affluent borough a5 kensington and Chelsea Council yet People Living in the conditions and the clearly dangerous situation they found them5elve5. Does that play into what youre talking about here . Obviously first and foremost its a tragedy what happened. I think there is Ma55ive Inequality In London in general but specifically in kensington, it is hard to look past that. But what were talking about are two different trends, were talking about whether people own their own homes and whether they have wealth. Whatever home you live ina have wealth. Whatever home you live in a basic should be that there is Health And Safety annual meeting minimum standards. Im not an expert on Health And Safety so i cant really comment. Even if we do see rising inequality and fewer people owning their own homes, Health And Safety is a basic everyone should be able to rely on. Thank you very much indeed for your time, conor darcy from the Resolution Foundation. It is quarter past six and the sunshine is out. I didnt wear sunscreen, but not enough yesterday. Today will be another scorching day. Helen will tell us about it. But look at this morning this is the view at salford, just glorious. One of the first acer have come into work without a coat.
