About

Scottish Government awarded a contract to WPI Economics for economic modelling research to better understand how policy levers affect child poverty outcomes for Scotland overall and for specific sub-groups at greater risk of poverty.

The research will model and report quantitative estimates on the effect of modifying various policy inputs using updated input data for Scotland and parameters determined by the Poverty and Inequality Commission's areas of interest, in relation to Scotland's child poverty targets.

It will be conducted using an established economic model (e.g.

UKMOD or the IPPR tax-benefit model), with the final output being a research report including an executive summary and other associated outputs (e.g.

supplementary tables and technical annexes) prepared for the Commission.

The contract value is £33,575.
