| Annotation | 'Age and inequality' is one of a collection of 24 papers arising from a conference, 'Reviewing Meritocracy', held at the Institute of Community Studies (ICS) in May 2004 marking its half-century and referring to the 'The rise of the meritocracy' written by its founder, Michael Young. In his paper, Eric Midwinter suggests that Britain has become more meritocratic and socially polarised, and that it is children and older people who are losing out the most. (RH). |
