Description

It is recognised that the gap between rich and poor in Britain is widening faster than in any comparable country.

This important issue is attracting increasing attention after long neglect.

Economists and others concerned with problems linked with inequality are investigating factors contributing to the situation.

Based on results of the first recent major research programme in this area, this book, first published in 1996, examines wealth distribution in the United Kingdom over the last two decades.

Leading specialists in the area tackle the problem from a wide variety of perspectives.

Contributions include: the analysis of income distribution; the effects of greater female participation in the labour force; social security reform; and geographical variation at the national and local scale.

Understanding the complexity of these factors is crucial to designing policies which can begin to cope with income inequalities.
