| Annotation | The New Policy Institute has produced its sixth annual report of indicators of poverty and social exclusion. The 2003 report focuses on regional variations across England, Scotland and Wales. With five years of data now available to measure progress since Labour came to office in 1997, it is becoming much clearer where the Government's strategy for combating poverty and social exclusion is being successful - and where it is not. These findings outline the main points of the report "Monitoring poverty and social exclusion 2003" by Guy Palmer, Jenny North, Jane Carr and Peter Kennaway and published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF; available from York Publishing Services). It notes the following indicators as "steady" over the last 5-6 years: no private income; excess winter deaths; limiting longstanding illness or disability; and anxiety. However, benefit take-up, and help from social services to live at home have both worsened over that time. (RH). |
