On 19 August, Dr Hefin Gwilym, Lecturer in Social Policy, Criminology and Social Justice at Bangor University, was interviewed on BBC Radio Cymru's Dros Ginio programme to discuss the recent rise in inflation to 2.9% and its implications for individuals, families and communities across Wales.
During the interview, Dr Gwilym explored the wider social impact of rising prices during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, highlighting how increases in the cost of essential goods and services continue to place pressure on household budgets. The discussion considered the challenges faced by low-income households and the broader implications for poverty, inequality and social wellbeing.
Dr Gwilym's contribution reflects Bangor University's ongoing commitment to informing public debate and contributing evidence-based expertise on contemporary social and economic issues affecting communities in Wales and beyond.
