At #UKStatisticsAssembly2025. Great contribution from Liz Hind @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social in economic statistics session including reference to economic progress being measured as being able to afford essentials chiming with @jrf-uk.bsky.social work.

Also important points on household unit of measurement disguising hardship for women and how stats just on the value of unpaid care aren't helpful in generating improvements.

In terms of discussion, lots of talk about getting basics right and building confidence back in sources like LFS and measuring the tails of distribution. Top 1% and very lowest incomes where @jrf-uk.bsky.social destitution study helps.
