How can data help people to make better choices about their future?
Project / New Work Cornwall
Presenting data, in engaging ways, can help citizens to make better decisions and choices about their future. In Cornwall, for example, there are 8,298 citizens claiming Jobseekers Allowance and 85,600 economically inactive (figures: Dec 2010). The average cost per person per year of someone on benefits is est. £50,000. We believe data can help to solve great social and economic challenges of our time, such as unemployment and deprivation - and so we made this video as part of a pitch for pilot funding to the Technology Strategy Board.
