Road Pricing in the UK
 The contributors to this publication have each drawn on research evidence to come to their conclusions. Understandably, because their research findings are reached from different settings and by varying methodologies, they are not in agreement on all issues.

The Demographic Trends in Scotland: A Shrinking and Ageing Population
 This booklet on Scotland’s changing population is the latest in a series in which the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) presents independent research in key policy areas to potential users in government, politics, the media, and the private and voluntary sectors.
Scotland's population is both shrinking and ageing and this poses critical policy challenges for the Scottish Executive. What implications does the changing population have for the Scottish economy? Why is the population in Scotland falling when no other EU country is experiencing a similar decline? What can the government do to influence trends of migration and childbearing, to enable people to have the children they want at the time they want? What will be the impact of a 'greying electorate'?
