Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives of the working class in a typical provincial town in late 19th-century England. Through meticulous research, including a house-to-house survey, the author paints a vivid picture of their living conditions, occupations, earnings, and struggles. The book examines the extent and causes of poverty, dividing it into "primary" and "secondary" categories based on income and expenditure. It explores the relationship between poverty and health, revealing the stark realities faced by the poorest members of society. By providing detailed accounts of family budgets and diets, the author sheds light on the challenges of making ends meet on meager wages. The book also delves into social conditions, including housing, overcrowding, and access to basic amenities. It compares the findings in this town to those in London and other cities, highlighting the similarities and differences in the experiences of the working class across urban areas. The book's insights into the lives of the working poor are both poignant and thought-provoking. It raises questions about social justice, economic inequality, and the responsibility of society to address the needs of its most vulnerable members. Ultimately, the book serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of poverty and the importance of striving for a more equitable society.
