When New Labor 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
judgment on inequality'. Now a second volume by the same team of
authors provides an independent assessment of the success or
otherwise of New Labor'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, neighborhoods, 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 Labor's achievements in power.
