description
The Low Pay Commission sought tenders for research exploring young people's experiences of the labour market and their decisions about work, pay and education.
The research will contribute to the evidence base on the impact of the minimum wage by providing insights from young people's perspective. It will complement the LPC's quantitative analysis of the Labour Force Survey, the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings and other economic and labour market data. It will also complement our programme of stakeholder engagement, where we hear directly from young workers.
The full requirement is set out in Schedule 07 of the Invitation to Tender document available on the Low Pay Commission website.
The procurement had an estimated maximum value of £35,000 + VAT. The project will deliver final results in September 2026 (with a final report due later in 2026).
