Public Services Zone
 The Public Services Zone contains all ESRC-funded research into public service policy and reform, in an accessible, practitioner-led format. Researchers from the fields of economics, political science, management, accounting, social psychology and public policy have investigated the impact of reforms in central and local government, health, education, the police, the voluntary sector and more, to identify the key lessons from past policy and practice for those who are building the public services of the future.

Understanding Society
Understanding Society will track the lives of 100,000 people in Britain every year, capturing crucial information on their health, finances, employment, education and more. It will track how people respond to policy initiatives and inform future policy - for example how many quality years people will have post retirement and what the need for state care will be. |
