Inequality in the UK, its effects, and what we think about it

RSS Conference 2012, Tuesday 4 September Kate Pickett (University of York) Understanding the effects of inequality in the UK: data from the Spirit Level Kate Pickett draws on the work that she put forward in the well known book 'The Spirit Level' which looks at the relationships between inequality and societal outcomes in a variety of areas. Alison Park (Head of Society and Social Change, NatCen) What the British Social Attitudes Survey tells us about our attitudes to inequality This talk uses data from the British Social Attitudes survey to explore public attitudes towards inequality and the government's role in alleviating it, focusing particularly on people's attitudes to the welfare state. It explores how and why attitudes in this area have changed since the early 1980s, as well as how views vary between different sections of the population. Chair: Hetan Shah (Executive Director, RSS)
