Consumers and The Economic Outlook - Quarterly Update - UK - July 2011
The report includes an overview of the changes in household well-being over the last three years, a breakdown of planned and recent spending, and consumers' assessment of the potential impact of the government's austerity measures.
Free to Mintel Oxygen subscribers, the report is the first in an ongoing series of quarterly updates. Each quarter, the core tracker questions will be supplemented by a focus on a different demographic group - this quarter, the emphasis is on retirees - and by additional research into emerging economic development.
