Brexit has been a decade-long process rather than discrete events, and has had enduring effects on the United Kingdom\u2019s economy and society, as well as affecting former partners in the European Union. While there is a broad consensus that the macroeconomic impact has been damaging to both sides, the incidence of Brexit on households, social groups and different economic sectors has been uneven. Overall, it has affected the UK more than the EU.<\/p>\n

In a new research report from the LSE IDEAS<\/a> Europe Initiative and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, our Professorial Research Fellow Iain Begg<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0distinguishes and critically analyses three broad categories \u2013 economic, social, and governance \u2013 of Brexit\u2019s impact on the UK and EU.<\/p>\n

It examines the uneven effects on various economic sectors and groups, paying particular attention to how different categories of households are affected.<\/p>\n
