9781447327714: Social Policy in a Cold Climate: Policies and Their Consequences Since the Crisis

Synopsis

Social Policy in a Cold Climate offers a data-rich, evidence-based analysis of the impact Labour and coalition government policies have had on inequality and on the delivery of services such as health, education, adult social care, housing and employment in the wake of the greatest recession of our time. The authors provide an authoritative and unflinching analysis of recent approaches to social policy and their outcomes following the financial crisis, with particular focus on poverty and inequality. Through a detailed look at spending, outputs and outcomes the book offers a unique appraisal of Labour and the coalitions impact as well as an insightful assessment of future directions. This volume offers a much-awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed A more equal society? (2005) and Towards a more equal society? (2009).
