Poverty and insecurity

Beschreibung

This book is the first of its kind to examine the relationship between social exclusion, poverty and the labour market. It challenges long-standing and dominant myths about â¿¿the workless' and â¿¿the poor', by exploring close-up the lived realities of life in low-pay, no-pay Britain.
