This book addresses the question of the extent of and responses to
inequalities in the UK in 2017 in the wake of the 2008 Great
Recession. Inequality is the issue that won't go away, a real world
issue affecting all facets of society with political and economic
developments such as austerity measures, Brexit and changes in
political leadership impacting the inequality landscape. Six of the
chapters examine the extent of economic inequalities and poverty
using quantitative and qualitative methods that help map regional
differences, compare the UK with the rest of the EU and go beyond
the traditional measures and concepts. Seven chapters explore how
inequalities have evolved since 2008 and have been tackled by
policy makers in five policy areas (health, housing, education,
gender and immigration) taking into account the new legislative
framework and in one party (labour). Finally, six others address
the issue of the governance of inequality by looking at how
inequality features in the political agenda of the devolved
assemblies in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales as well as at a
local level in Ipswich and London. Based on recent surveys and
current academic thinking, this book provides an up-to-date account
of the extent and distribution of inequalities in the UK, of the
evolving ways in which inequalities are measured and addressed as
well as the changing perception of inequalities by the general
public and policy-makers.
