This innovative book addresses the historical development of social
and fiscal policies from the late 1970s to the present day by
asking three major questions: What has changed? How have these
changes affected the lifecourse? What are the potential lifetime
impacts of policy change? This book provides an overview of the
development of policy change over the period and uses an innovative
and unique lifetime approach 'from the cradle to the grave' to put
it into perspective. The authors begin by reviewing the political
changes and policy story since the 1970s and demonstrate the
economic and social changes that have occurred alongside. The book
then takes an innovative approach in looking at specific programmes
about crucial aspects of the lifecycle - from maternity and
childhood, through to adult events and risks before finally looking
at retirement, survivorship and death. Finally, profiles of three
hypothetical 'families' - the Meades, who are median earners, the
Moores, high earners and the Lowes who are low paid - are developed
for 1979, 1997 and 2008 to provide a comprehensive discussion of
policy change and make innovative insights for the future. This is
the first book to join up the history of policy direction with an
analysis of outcomes over the whole period. It will therefore be
ideal for graduate and post-graduate students of social policy and
attract a wide readership with interested in pensions, children's
support and related issues.
