The advent of the "enterprise culture" over the last two decades,
has drastically reshaped the "welfare state" of the 1950-60s. The
authors address one of the most contentious issues to arise from
these changes - how those with low-earning power should live in
this "post-industrial" economy? "Trapped in Poverty" provides a
detailed study of how men and women, with children, and in
low-income households, decide about employment and claiming
benefits. It shows how they account for their moves in and out of
the labour market, relating such changes to various economic and
social factors. It also considers the gender divisions of these
decisions. Based on an extensive case study of a single town,
"Trapped in Poverty" draws its information directly from the people
involved, thereby showing how the poor view themselves and their
relationship with the community. Focusing on one deprived
neighbourhood, the authors investigated changes between employment,
unemployment and self-employment in a fragmented, casualized labour
market. This book should be of interest to researchers, academics
of economics, sociology, social policy and public administration.
