Poverty and Insecurity: Life in Low-Pay, No-Pay Britain de Tracy Shildrick

Poverty and Insecurity: Life in Low-Pay, No-Pay Britain: Studies in Poverty, Inequality and Social Exclusion

Autor Tracy Shildrick, Robert MacDonald, Colin Webster, Kayleigh Garthwaite
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2012
Poverty and Insecurity is the first book to examine the relationship between social exclusion, poverty, and the labor market. It challenges long-standing and dominant myths about the unemployed and the poor by exploring their lived realities. Work may be the best route out of poverty, but for many people employment does not solve recurrent poverty, with many individuals trapped in a low-pay, no-pay cycle between lowwage jobs and unemployment. Based on unique qualitative and longitudinal research, the book shows how poverty and insecurity have now become the defining features of working life for many.

Recenzii

"This book is about one important part of the growing precariat, those who have fallen out of old working-class communities. It should make people sad and angry. It is a great corrective to the utilitarian bias exhibited by mainstream politicians. It should be widely read."

"The book achieves its aims of providing a thorough insight into life at the foot of the contemporary labour market in a way that is sensitive and empathetic. . . .This is a good quality publication produced by a research team who between them have done much to increase understanding of the realities of working-class life."

“Based on unique qualitative, life-history research with a ‘hard-to-reach group’ of younger and older people, men and women, the book shows how poverty and insecurity have now become the defining features of working life for many. An illuminating read.”
