- Social Progress in Britain is an ambitious monograph (250 pages/90,000 words) investigating in depth social progress and social inequalities over the past seventy years in Britain, with a comparative perspective comparing British trends with those in seven ‘peer’ countries. Social progress is investigated across a wide range of domains (including life expectancy, education, housing, income, social mobility and social cohesion) and involved the analysis and synthesis of an extensive range of administrative, survey and cross-national data. The work involved a complex and multi-layered process of collective research by a multi-disciplinary team covering expertise in sociology, demography, education and economics.
