Description

Social Progress in Britain investigates how much progress Britain has made in tackling material deprivation, ill-health, educational standards, lack of housing, and unemployment since Sir William Beveridge's 1942 report. The book also compares Britain's progress with that of peer countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the USA. The impact of increased economic inequality in Britain since the 1980s is examined, as well as its effects on social classes, men and women, and different ethnic groups. The book considers how rising economic inequality has influenced other areas of life and what implications this has had for Britain's sense of social cohesion. By examining these issues, Social Progress in Britain provides a comprehensive analysis of Britain's progress towards tackling the challenges of modern society.
