5.1.14 cards
Why neutral technology widens gaps
Converting a tool into money, work or study takes time, skills and contacts — exactly what the group with less lacks.
The three inequality levers
Give access, build the ability to convert, change what the technology rewards.
Why the access lever is weakest
It is the one that can be counted and reported, and it leaves the conversion problem untouched.
The Paper 3 answer shape
Recommend, justify, state what it does not reach, conclude. The limits card separates the bands.
5.1.24 cards
Ageing against moving populations
Ageing needs care delivered with fewer people; moving needs identity, money and language across borders.
The digital health catch
The group with the highest need has the lowest device ownership and least confidence — so the service is aimed at the least equipped.
What a moving population needs
Identity that survives a border, cheap transfers home, multiple languages, and no assumption of a fixed address.
Making an alternative route enforceable
Publish waiting times for the digital and non-digital routes side by side — a number rather than a promise.
5.1.34 cards
The four responses to automation
Retrain, redistribute, reduce hours, redesign what gets automated.
The three conditions retraining needs
Nearby work, time to train, and an income while training.
Why bargaining power falls first
A worker whose tasks could be automated negotiates against that possibility whether or not it happens — employment figures miss it.
Helping people against helping a place
Relocation support helps individuals and lets a region keep declining; they are different objectives.
