About us
Nuffield is a graduate college of the University of Oxford dedicated to advanced study and research in the social sciences, particularly economics, politics, and sociology. The College was established in 1937 through a gift to the University of Oxford by Lord Nuffield. A key ambition in establishing the College was to create a place of postgraduate study that could enhance cooperation between the academic and non-academic worlds in order to address social, economic and political problems - the aspiration to act as a bridge between the academic and public worlds continues to guide the College’s activities today. Nuffield College is home to several research centres including, the Centre for Experimental Social Science (CESS), the Centre for Social Investigation (CSI), and the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Policy (NuCAMP).

A new survey by the team at the Nuffield Politics Research Centre for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) finds that 18.5 M (39%) of UK voters feel economically insecure in the runup to the UK Election: https://lnkd.in/eVnBJPnP
🗣 You cannot understand this election without understanding economic insecurity. It has emerged as a key dividing line between voters. Latest research from Nuffield College Politics Research Centre for JRF shows voters' worries about economic insecurity are set to play a pivotal role in how they vote. 39% of voters - 18.5 million people - feel economically insecure with concerns over outgoings for housing, childcare and debt. Research suggests this is behind Conservatives’ loss of support and Labour’s gains. Of the 18.5 million, 34% intend to vote Labour and 10% Conservative The Conservatives are losing economically insecure voters to both the left and right. Compared to 2019, 13% of economically insecure Conservative voters now intend to vote Labour and 26% intend to vote Reform UK. Researchers also suggest that economic insecurity is pushing more people to Labour. Since 2019, 42% of all voters that Labour has gained are economically insecure. There is a political risk of failing to address the concerns of 18.5 million people. With millions of people feeling economically insecure, how they choose to vote will have a significant impact on the result. 🔎 Link to the report by Professor Jane Green, Professor Geoff Evans, Dr Zack Grant, and Gaetano Inglese in the comments 🔽
