In his landmark 1942 report on social insurance Sir William
Beveridge talked about the 'five giants on the road to
reconstruction' - the giants of Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor,
and Idleness. Social Progress in Britain investigates how much
progress Britain has made in tackling the challenges of material
deprivation, ill-health, educational standards, lack of housing,
and unemployment in the decades since Beveridge wrote. It also asks
how progress in Britain compares with that of peer countries -
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden and the USA. Has
Britain been slipping behind? What has been the impact of the
increased economic inequality which Britain experienced in the
1980s - has rising economic inequality been mirrored by increasing
inequalities in other areas of life too? Have there been increasing
inequalities of opportunity between social classes, men and women,
and different ethnic groups? And what have been the implications
for Britain's sense of social cohesion?
