AnnotationThe case is made for tackling poverty in the next twenty years. This report identifies some simple measures that will tell us by 2025 both whether overall progress has been made, and the extent to which the wide differences between places have been reduced. To achieve this, the author presents five challenges: sustain progress in tackling poverty; make the welfare state more supportive; reduce disadvantage based on where you live; improve the supply, quality and sustainability of the nation's housing; and build public consensus for tackling disadvantage. In its centenary year, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) consulted widely on directions for poverty strategy, and the resulting 'policy ideas' illustrate ways in which progress might be made for each of the five challenges.
