IPPR: Far from Settled

Think tank analysis of the Earned Settlement consultation, legacy protection and the treatment of people already on routes to settlement.

Summary

This IPPR analysis estimates the number of people already on routes to settlement who could be affected by longer qualifying periods, with attention to legacy protection and social impacts. It is included as a high-authority think tank reference for scale and cohort context.

Why this matters for the archive

The analysis supports SWJA's archive emphasis on semi-closed cohorts, settlement uncertainty, reliance interests and the treatment of people already progressing toward settlement.
