| Annotation | The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) commissioned 'Overcoming disadvantage' as part of its programme of research and innovative development projects, and follows on from the Foundations's own working paper, 'Tackling disadvantage: a 20-year enterprise'. Major political themes - such as the level of income redistribution and the balance between universal and means-tested benefits - are causes that divide authors from the major think tanks. Poverty issues are also examined from Welsh and Scottish perspectives. Nicholas Timmins' introduction and overview, 'Towards consensus?', observes that across the political divide, poverty and social disadvantage are seen as live issues that need to be tackled. (RH). |
