This report examines the evidence on whether money in adulthood has a causal impact on wider adult outcomes. Individuals with less income tend to do worse on a range of indicators than those with more, including measures of physical health and subjective well-being. Would more money in itself make a difference? Or are these differences driven by other, associated factors (education, more satisfying work), or by long-term factors too well-established to shift with a boost to income during adulthood?
