The Low Pay Commission (LPC) relies on high-quality evidence to inform its recommendations on the National Minimum Wage, including National Living Wage (NLW).

Our areas of research interest document highlights our current research priorities. We are keen to engage with researchers working on these topics to strengthen the evidence base. If you are a researcher working in these areas and are interested in extending the policy impact of your research, please reach out to us at lpc@lpc.gov.uk.
