| Annotation | The authors of the study outlined in these findings have used data from the 2001 Census to demonstrate the extent and nature of geographical and social inequality in the UK. The work focuses on five themes: health, education, housing, employment and poverty. The research reveals the broad locations, circumstances and numbers of those most disadvantaged in society by contrasting their opportunities and resources with those available to more advantaged people. The study uncovers the geographical relationship between poverty, affluence and area. The study was carried out by Ben Wheeler and Danny Dorling (University of Sheffield), Mary Shaw (University of Bristol), and Richard Michael (University of Edinburgh). The Policy Press has published their research as "Using millennial Census data to understand poverty, inequality and place", a pack comprising ten short reports, a supporting technical report, summary document and five posters.
