David’s research
I wanted to become a 2019 Data Impact Fellow because I am passionate about using data to highlight social injustices and to produce insights which hopefully lead to more effective evidence-based government policy decisions.
I am currently the Senior Researcher at The Intergenerational Foundation (IF), non-party-political think tank which exists to research intergenerational inequality (registered charity no.1142230). Founded in 2011 and independent, IF is funded by no-strings-attached donations from private individuals, trusts, foundations and corporate partners. Our research is regularly quoted in the national media, and we believe we can claim significant credit for moving the issue of intergenerational fairness up the political agenda over recent years.
