What it’s about
How Fair is Britain?- Triennial Review for GB- comprehensive- evidence-based- huge
How Fair is Wales? - Welsh context- parallels GB but not the same- not huge!
![Page 3: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What we did
Approach based on Equalities Measurement Framework
Eight different areas e.g. employment, physical security, health
Forty different indicators and even more measures
Welsh data not available for all
![Page 4: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Major challenges
The most significant challenges based on:- numbers affected- severity of effect
NOT the only challenges Some familiar, some surprising May be different in your area

Life and health Stark differences in
health and life prospects
Gender and socio-economic group combine
![Page 7: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Life and health
Challenge of reducing health inequalities
Especially older men
Also younger men
![Page 8: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Education and Skills
“Our goal is to stress di-versity while remaining a uni-versity”
![Page 9: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Education and Skills
Sharp divide by socio-economic group Inequalities by gender, ethnic group and
disability Challenge to close the attainment gap for
boys, black, Bangladeshi and Pakistani pupils and disabled children
Challenge of young people who are NEET
![Page 10: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Employment Employment rate low
in Wales - but not for everyone
Challenge to increase employment rates, especially among disabled and older people
![Page 11: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Employment Marked inequalities in
pay, especially by gender, ethnicity and disability
Challenge to close pay gaps.

Legal and Physical Security
![Page 13: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Legal and Physical Security
Limited evidence
Challenge to: reduce the incidence of domestic and
sexual violence Reduce the incidence of bullying and hate
crime
![Page 14: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Power and voice
Limited evidence
Challenge to: Increase participation of ‘protected groups’ Makes Wales’s public, private and third
sector organisations representative
![Page 15: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A new approach?
Socio-economic inequality dominates BUT interwoven with other inequalities Efforts to reduce socio-economic
inequalities to take account of ‘protected characteristics’
Efforts to reduce other inequality must take account of socio-economic inequality.

Conclusions
Wales has changed greatly in 30 years
Huge pressures ahead:- reform of public services- globalisation of economy- demographic shifts
Changing political and legal context
![Page 17: HOW FAIR IS WALES? Victoria Winckler The Bevan Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55147c3c550346f06e8b471c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Equality - of all kinds - must be centre of the agenda
Not a disadvantage league table
Mainstreaming of ALL aspects
Read the reports!
