A new report by LSE researchers, looking at how the causes, consequences
and definitions of poverty in Britain have altered during the past 100
years and published this week by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, finds that
the low incomes of a substantial minority in Britain still exclude them
from the fruits of growing prosperity enjoyed by the majority.

One Hundred Years of Poverty and Policy by Professor Howard Glennerster,
Professor John Hills, Professor David Piachaud of the Centre for Analysis
of Social Exclusion, and Dr Jo Webb, formerly of the Social Policy
Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science,
concludes that social deprivation lays down a continuing political
challenge that is likely to intensify as the 21st century progresses.
