Charles Pemberton draws on interviews with foodbank users and volunteers to defend and advance a Christian vision of welfare beyond emergency food provision. He suggests that behind the day-to-day struggles of those using foodbanks there are wider much concerns about loneliness, marginalisation and the wholesale fragmentation of society.
How can we measure poverty in the United Kingdom today, and which measures are most reliable? Is poverty related to other problems and disadvantages? Based on the largest research study on UK poverty ever commissioned, these fascinating volumes answer these questions and more, providing the most authoritative and up-to-date picture ever assembled of poverty throughout the four countries of the United Kingdom. Using state-of-the-art measurement methods, Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK looks across geography, time, and key domains like health, employment, and housing to make enlightening--and sometimes shocking--comparisons. In the second volume, contributors consider different aspects of disadvantage, from access to local services, the world of work, the quality of housing and neighborhoods, and physical and mental health. They also look at wider aspects of social and community life, as well as participation in civic and political activities.
"Poverty Street is an invaluable resource for academics, students, policy makers and practioners interested in tracing the history of disadvantaged neighbourhoods, understanding their current problems and thinking about policy responses. Its unique coverage of a wide range of areas makes it a fascinating read for academics and students in urban studies, social policy and sociology, practitioners working to tackle social exclusion and individuals interested in the spatial dimensions of social policy."--BOOK JACKET.

Child poverty is a central and present part of global life, with hundreds of millions of children around the world enduring tremendous suffering and deprivation of their most basic needs. Despite its long history, research on poverty and development has only relatively recently examined the issue of child poverty as a distinct topic of concern. This book brings together theoretical, methodological and policy-relevant contributions by leading researchers on international child poverty. With a preface from Sir Richard Jolly, Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, it examines how child poverty and well-being are now conceptualized, defined and measured, and presents regional and national level portraits of child poverty around the world, in rich, middle income and poor countries. The book's ultimate objective is to promote and influence policy, action and the research agenda to address one of the world's great ongoing tragedies: child poverty, marginalization and inequality.
This report compares child wellbeing in developed countries around the world. It includes 3 parts. Part 1 presents a league table of child well-being and details performance in the areas of material well-being, healthy and safety, education, behaviours and risks, and housing and environment. Part 2 looks at subjective well-being, and features a league table of children's life satisfaction. Part 3 examines changes in child well-being in advanced economies over the first decade of the 2000s, looking at each country?s progress in educational achievement, teenage birth rates, childhood obesity levels, the prevalence of bullying, and the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. Note, Australia, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Israel, Japan, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, and Turkey were unable to be included in league tables, due to insufficient data, but their data is noted in individual sections when available.
