John Hills & Kitty Stewart 
A more equal society? [PDF ebook] 
New Labour, poverty, inequality and exclusion

Support

This major new book provides, for the first time, a detailed evaluation of policies on poverty and social exclusion since 1997, and their effects. Bringing together leading experts in the field, it considers the challenges the government has faced, the policies chosen and the targets set in order to assess results. Drawing on research from the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion, and on external evaluations, the book  asks how children, older people, poor neighbourhoods, ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups have fared under New Labour and seeks to assess the government both on its own terms – in meeting its own targets – and according to alternative views of social exclusion.
