Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK - the 3rd Townsend Memorial Conference

19 - 20 June 2014

Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL

Today 33% of the UK population suffer from multiple deprivation as defined by the UK public; in 1983 this figure was 14%.

This free 2-day Peter Townsend Memorial Conference 2014 was funded by the ESRC as part of Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK. The conference presented the findings of the PSE 2012 research project, the latest in the series of UK Poverty surveys carried out since 1983. The research uses the consensual approach to measuring poverty now adopted by both developed and developing countries.

The presentations were given by members of the Poverty and Social Exclusion research team, from eight UK universities.

Comment: 
I was so sorry to have missed the conference, but grateful that the presentations are made available, so I can read and digest at my own pace! The PSE is doing some excellent work in keeping poverty and inequality at the top of the political agenda – where it belongs. We need to mobilise and work with the trade unions and claimants' organisations and maybe get fliers into foodbanks so that everyone is aware of the true facts. The facts and figures presented give really useful ammunition for challenging some of the myths and negative stereotypes of those who are surviving poverty today. Well done everyone who organised and took part in the conference.
