| Annotation | The Nestlé Family Monitor is a series of research studies commissioned to monitor how families function, and attitudes to and perceptions of family life. Much of the information in this bulletin is taken from these original research findings conducted for the Nestlé Family Monitor. This issue of Family and Food promotes the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) research and publication, "Hard Times : a study of pensioner poverty" by CPA Research Officer, Maxine Whetstone, that was conducted for the Nestlé Family Monitor. This ethnographic study comprises of personal interviews with 46 pensioners living in Central London, ranging in age from 70 to 90, conducted over several months. Pensioners participating in the survey kept diaries which were monitored on a twice-weekly basis. (KJ/RH). |
