    #radstats poverty as minimum for 'mere physical efficiency'. Primary poverty - no money, secondary poverty - spending money elsewhere.

    Duck@brainduck
    #radstats poverty due to low wages, large families, death or disability. Life cycle of poverty, high risk periods eg old age.

    #radstats Rowntree: ppl shld not live on poverty line. Fault of low wages NOT poor. Assault on Poor Laws and charities. No recommendations.

    #Radstats-Bradshaw: Seebohm Rowntree's evidence from poverty study 1899 was "direct assault on the Poverty Act" & idea of un/deserving poor.

    #radstats still measuring poverty in same way as Rowntree now, budget standards for living wage etc. Similar analysis.

    #Radstats Bradshaw: Unfortunately today IDS still seems to embrace undeserving poor idea, poverty caused by drug addiction...

    Duck@brainduck
    #radstats Rowntree contrast to Tory idea of poverty as individual & about drugs etc. Still about low wages.

    100 years on popular beliefs about the principal cause of poverty persist: failure of character rather than low income #radstats #rowntree

    The stats just don't match with the deserving/ undeserving poor paradigm of IDS #radstats

    #radstats #York as social science lab. Representative? Census: York grown 9%, 9% not white British, many students which ups poverty.
