Aging in Twentieth-Century Britain
Reconstructing the Underclass
In late 2011, the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government announced the launch of a new programme on ‘troubled families’ – a term used to describe the estimated 120,000 most behaviourally anti-social families in England and Wales. To many social scientists, this appeared to be yet another reconstruction of the broad ‘underclass’ concept that has run like a thread of analysis through UK poverty discourses over the last 150 years. Th…
Welfare, Wages and the Family
‘It is a curious fact about the movement we are studying’, wrote Eleanor Rathbone in 1927, ‘that it seems to have begun, spiritually if not in material results, almost simultaneously and quite independently in several countries, and in several minds in each country’. 1
Âgisme et discrimination dans le monde du travail. Regard historique sur le cas britannique
Alors que les discriminations en raison de la race, du genre, de la religion, du handicap et de l'orientation sexuelle ont progressivement été encadrées par des textes législatifs réglementant en particulier l'accès à l'emploi, à la formation et à la fonction publique, l'âge n'est entré que récemment dans le corpus juridique. Cette postériorité est parfois interprétée comme un effet de la complexité de l'âge en tant que catégorie, moins binaire, …
Revisiting the Welfare State ‐ By Robert M. Page
Older Men and Work in the Twenty-First Century
The New Labour government has set a target of getting 1,000,000 more people aged 50 and over (50+) back into work as part of its aim of achieving an overall employment rate of 80 per cent among people of working age. To this end, a variety of policies have been introduced to encourage citizens to work later in life, notably the 2006 Age Regulations. However, much of the government's analysis is based on supply-side reasoning that has retained its…
The Age Discrimination Debate in Britain
Age discrimination has become a topical issue in Britain, and legislation is promised by the year 2006. It is often viewed as a recent problem, caused by the decline in older men's economic activity rates since the 1970s, by concerns over ageing populations in the future and by the need to extend working lives. Yet it has a long history, going back at least to the 1930s, with much research into older workers being conducted in 1950s Britain. Exam…

Eugenics and the Campaign for Voluntary Sterilization in Britain Between the Wars
Recent historians of the British eugenics movement have explored the link between eugenics and ‘progressive’ thought, implying that eugenics was highly influential in inter-war debates on social policy and social problems While there is some validity in this analysis, it fails to account for the fact that pressure by eugenists produced very little in the way of tangible policy outcomes This is powerfully illustrated by the campaign for the volunt…

Women From Birth to Death
In Pursuit of the Underclass
The 1970s saw a wide ranging debate in Britain, initiated by Sir Keith Joseph, on the apparent existence of a 'cycle of deprivation'. Most participants viewed this debate as having originated in the 1960s, but in fact versions of the general concept of an inter-generational 'underclass' have figured prominently in social debates during the past one hundred years. In particular, in the inter-war period there were several investigations of an hered…
