The Resolution Foundation think tank and academics from the London School of Economics report that the average worker in Britain will now suffer περισσότερες more than 4 470 in lost wages each year until 2030, given rising living costs, compared to a poll which remains in 2016. In a report six years after the referendum, researchers said Brexit was hurting UK’s export competitiveness on the world stage as companies were forced to deal with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine pushing inflation. on historical levels. “A less open Great Britain is expected to be poorer and less productive,” he said. Official data released on Wednesday is expected to show a new rise in inflation from 9% in April to 9.1% last month, as rising gas prices and the rising cost of a weekly store are putting pressure on distressed families. The Bank of England has warned that inflation could reach 11% by October. As the government tried to crack down on rail unions on Tuesday amid widespread train strikes since the 1980s, ministers were forced to defend inflation targets planned for state pensions while ordering wage cuts for public sector employees. Former Conservative Chancellor Ken Clark has said Britain has been in the worst economic crisis since at least 1979, telling the BBC that a recession was almost inevitable. “I think we will almost certainly go into recession in the next two years,” he said. “The Bank of England had to start tackling inflation, which was allowed to escape completely.” Boris Johnson warned workers not to ask for higher wage increases to prevent a 1970s wage-price spiral leading to higher inflation, in stark contrast to October last year, when the prime minister proposed that Brexit could help create a higher wage. productivity economy of the future. However, the report by the Resolution Foundation and the LSE said that Brexit will significantly increase productivity gains in the coming years by 2030, while suggesting that higher import costs will be borne by household finances. The survey estimated that labor productivity – a key measure of economic output per hour worked – would fall by 1.3% by 2030 due to the slowdown in the UK economy after Brexit, which equates to a loss of a quarter in profitability gains. achieved in the past decade. Ministers argued that higher wage increases for workers in the UK would only be sustainable if supported by productivity gains. However, with the expected decline in the efficiency of the British economy after Brexit, academics said that wage-adjusted wages would have fallen by 1.8% by 2030. He said this equated to a loss of 2 472 a year.

Thorsten Bell, chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, said Brexit would make it harder to recover from the Covid pandemic and raise wages in the wake of the cost-of-living crisis. He said: “Ten percent inflation is painful, whether you drive a train, travel by train or have nothing to do with trains. It would always be hard to deal with, but it’s a lot more for families coming in after 15 years of stagnant wages. “The sustainable way out of this is the strongest wage growth, driven by productivity. “Covid-19 and Brexit do not facilitate this goal, but the United Kingdom has significant economic strength and we urgently need a renewed economic strategy based on it.”
