Description
The New Poverty by Stephen Armstrong Seventy-five years after the Beveridge Report, Britain's social landscape has changed dramatically. Today, 13 million people live in poverty, with one in five children struggling to make ends meet. This alarming trend is not just reflected in official statistics but also in the lives of those who are often overlooked: the working poor, living on the edge and facing the consequences of austerity. In The New Poverty, Stephen Armstrong sheds light on this unreported country, where the welfare state has shrunk and politicians have abandoned its most vulnerable citizens. As benefit cuts continue to bite, Armstrong asks what the long-term impact of Brexit will be and how we can mitigate the effects of poverty on our society. Armstrong's book is a powerful exploration of an issue that affects us all, and one that demands our attention and consideration.
