Abstract
The UK recession has intensified. Belying earlier forecasts the current downturn is proving more severe and probably more prolonged than its precursor of 1974-75. The overall level of outputs is estimated to have fallen by 2.5 - 3 % during the past year. A further, though less marked, fall is predicted for 1981, with at best a hesitant recovery emerging in the latter half of the year. Global macroeconomic trends are examined as well as labour market conditions.
