Our lives: Poverty then and now in the UK

As Julia Unwin, of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, says in her Foreword, the report
’… gives a clear, unflinching account of the state of our nation, and does so in ways that illuminate, and humanise, the dry accounts of trend data. Taken together, [the stories] give a picture of life that is harsh, and difficult, perpetuating inequality, and reducing potential. And they do so in ways that underline the humanity of the experience of poverty.’
