Poverty is perceived as an urban problem, yet many in rural Britain
also experience hardship. This book explores how and why people in
rural areas experience and negotiate poverty and social exclusion.
It examines the role of societal processes, individual
circumstances, sources of support (markets; state; voluntary
organisations; family and friends) and the role of place. It
concludes that the UK's welfare system is poorly adapted to rural
areas, with the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit and cutbacks exacerbating
pressures. Voluntary organisations increasingly fill gaps in
support left by the state. Invaluable to those in policy and
practice, the book recommends a combination of person-based and
place-based approaches to tackle rural poverty.
