| Annotation | The relationship between wealth and place is little understood; however, establishing the geographical distribution of wealth is essential for a more thorough understanding of social inequalities. A team of researchers from the Universities of Sheffield and Bristol and the Institute of Education, University of London have used a wide range of data - principally the Family Expenditure Survey (FES) - to provide a new spatial analysis of Britain's changing picture of poverty and affluence over the last 40 years. These findings outline the main points from the research, published as 'Poverty, wealth and place in Britain 1968 to 2005' by the Policy Press on behalf of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). This study builds on two previous studies on poverty in Britain, also published by the Policy Press: 'Life in Britain: using millennial Census data to understand poverty, inequality and place' (2005), and 'Poverty and social exclusion in Britain' (2006). The study's full dataset of poverty and wealth measures is on the Spatial and Social Inequalities Research Group (SASI) website (http://www.sasi.group.sheffield.ac.uk/research/tra... (RH). |
