| Annotation | A new study for members and associates of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) at the London School of Economics (LSE) has surveyed the evidence on the impact of policies towards poverty, inequality and social exclusion since the Labour government was elected in 1997. These findings summarise the policy areas identified which include: pensioner poverty; health inequalities; poor neighbourhoods; older people - services and long-term incomes; and ethnic inequalities. These policy areas are surveyed under three headings. The first is were the key problems recognised as a priority, appropriate targets set for improvement, and specific policy changes made to address them? The second considers evidence of impacts of initiatives, while the third asks what main problems and gaps have emerged from the policy mix. The full report, "A more equal society? New Labour, poverty, inequality and social exclusion", edited by John Hills and Kitty Stewart, and published by the Policy Press, was supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) as part of its centenary year.
