When New Labour came to power in 1997, its leaders asked for it to
be judged after ten years on its success in making Britain 'a more
equal society'. As it approaches the end of an unprecedented third
term in office, this book asks whether Britain has indeed moved in
that direction. The highly successful earlier volume "A more equal
society?" was described by Polly Toynbee as "the LSE's mighty
judgement on inequality". Now this second volume by the same team
of authors provides an independent assessment of the success or
otherwise of New Labour's policies over a longer period. It
provides: * consideration by a range of expert authors of a broad
set of indicators and policy areas affecting poverty, inequality
and social exclusion; * analysis of developments up to the third
term on areas including income inequality, education, employment,
health inequalities, neighbourhoods, minority ethnic groups,
children and older people; * an assessment of outcomes a decade on,
asking whether policies stood up to the challenges, and whether
successful strategies have been sustained or have run out of steam;
chapters on migration, social attitudes, the devolved
administrations, the new Equality and Human Rights Commission, and
future pressures. The book is essential reading for academic and
student audiences with an interest in contemporary social policy,
as well as for all those seeking an objective account of Labour's
achievements in power.
