The final PSE UK conference, 2014
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.
