Synopsis
Explore the roots and remedies of old age poverty in 19th‑century England.
This concise study surveys the extent of pauperism among the aged, examines its causes, and analyzes how relief is provided through the Poor Law, charity, and thrift. It also looks at state pension ideas and how similar schemes work in other countries, offering a clear view of policy options without promising quick fixes.
This edition brings together the Royal Commission findings and contemporary testimony to show how wages, employment, local administration, and social support shape life for elderly poor. It presents practical questions about who should pay, who receives aid, and how to build a safer, more effective system for the aging population.- Learn how old age pauperism was measured and what factors help or worsen it.
- Understand the debate over outdoor relief, workhouses, and the role of relatives and charities.
- Compare proposed state pensions with schemes in Germany and Denmark, and see how they were evaluated.
- See how thrift, friendly societies, and trade unions influence long‑term security for the elderly.
