520 _aThis book provides an independent assessment of the success or otherwise of New Labour's policies over a longer period. When New Labour came to power in 1997, its leaders asked for it to be judged after ten years on its success in making Britain 'a more equal society'. It provides: · consideration a broad set of indicators and policy areas affecting poverty, inequality and social exclusion; · analysis of developments on areas including income inequality, education, employment, health inequalities, neighbourhoods, minority ethnic groups, children and older people; · an assessment of outcomes a decade on; chapters on migration, social attitudes, the devolved administrations, the new Equality and Human Rights Commission, and future pressures.
