We want to build a richer narrative of what extreme advantage looks like, so that we can tackle the top end of town by developing and implementing public policy that is positive for social and health equity.

2) Beyond that, we were able to build consensus on a set of non-economic indicators. Items related to "connections and signalling". Think: attendance at an elite secondary school; attendance at exclusive events; being on the board of an elite organisation; etc.

What's next? ...

What did we find out?
1) Participants were comfortable with and liked the economic indicators of privilege.

Picture includes a continuous sketched line that forms four people. The people are looking at a whiteboard, and one of the people is made to look like they have written 'Data sources' on the whiteboard. The sketched line continues into a second part of the image, which is of a computer screen with a mug and computer mouse on either side. On the computer screen, there is a logo of yellow arches, the title 'Privilege Report 2025', a graph, and some lines meant to look like unreadable writing.
