Research for the Real World: S21E01
Jake Anders
Associate Professor
Deputy Director, Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities
Dr Jake Anders returns to Research for the Real World to share findings from the COVID Social Mobility and Opportunities Study (COSMO) looking at the impact of financial struggles faced by families.
Not only is there an elevated risk of psychological distress, the research also found food bank use and long-term poverty is associated with lower GCSE attainment. This sparks additional concerns about the long-term impact of the current cost-of-living crisis.
