The project will complete the digitisation of national household expenditure surveys of the period and systematically analyse of the evolution of living standards and poverty in early to mid-twentieth-century Britain. Part of the project will be the creation a web-based virtual centre on living standards and poverty in Britain. This virtual centre will provide policy makers, poverty agencies, public intellectuals, teachers, school children and any other interested party with the information they need to reach an informed opinion on the changing economic circumstances of working households in Britain. The centre will also give access to our data sets and the results of our empirical analysis. We will also engage in outreach to research institutes and non-HE institutions, running workshops and conferences.
