Behavioural Insights Team
The UK government set up a team called the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), which is also known as the "Nudge Unit." They apply behavioural science to public policy to influence people's behaviour and improve outcomes in areas like health, education, and crime prevention.
Some examples include:•Using text messages to remind people to pay their taxes on time.
Designing forms and websites to make it easier for people to access benefits
Creating campaigns to encourage organ donation or vaccinations.
