| Annotation | The authors use Seebohm Rowntree's 1899 study, "Poverty: a study of town life" as their starting point, to review how poverty has changed in the 20th century. They trace the evolution of poverty policy following Rowntree's and Charles Booth's ground-breaking studies and the Beveridge report of 1942. They analyse changes in policy developments and poverty outcomes under the Thatcher, Major and Blair governments. Having examined how the "poverty line" and the extent of poverty has changed over time, the authors conclude by looking forward to the policy challenges and dilemmas for the next 20 years, not only in the UK but also internationally.
