Independent think tank putting social justice at the heart of British politics

[The Centre for Social Justice @csjthinktank]

We are raising a bedroom generation.

New CSJ polling reveals that 37% of 15-year-olds - a quarter of a million - now hardly ever leave their bedrooms.

And 100K more 11-16s do no physical activity at all since 2018.

Schools must expand in-and-out-of-hours sport👇

Our new report, Inactive Nation, is out now📖

Today we reveal that over 250,000 15-year-olds - over 1 in 3 - hardly ever leave their bedrooms except for school.

Teenagers seeing no friends after school is up 50% since 2002.

We investigate the arrival of the bedroom generation, with a plan to get England teenagers moving again👇

Many town centres have become “consequence-free zones”.

That was the conclusion of our year-long inquiry into Britain’s high streets.

It’s welcome to see @JakeBenRichards considering our recommendations to restore justice for those watching criminals hijack their local areas👇

Very much looking forward to this discussion with @blue_labour exploring how we bring back hope to the high street.

I'll be setting out @csjthinktank plan for change from our new Hijacked High Streets report.

That’s why we’re calling changes to welfare the system and slashing the burden on employers to get a generation of young Brits into work.

What advice would you give to your 16-year-old self❓

And what can we do to help school leavers who are struggling to get into work❓

Our latest report, 16-24: Going Under, looks at the North East, where the rate of young people shut out of work and education is the highest in the country - 1️⃣ in 5️⃣.

We heard from business leaders and charity CEOs at our Big Listen in Newcastle who fed directly into this work.
