A Level Candidate numbers for Economics have risen above 50,000 for the first time in many years. There are now 14,000 more students taking A Level Economics each year than there were five years ago. Certainly the RES Young Economist Competition has played a role, making the subject even more attractive to more of the best & brightest A Level candidates… Great news!
