He used a wide definition of poverty and found evidence in 1960's and 1970's, he compared peoples quality of life.

The quality of life that comes from living in a particular social environment.

New right thinkers are particularly concerned about the growing number of lone mothers.

They argue that boy children brought up without fathers figures will be unable to be good fathers themselves.

New Right = work to support a family

The solution is to out back or even stop the welfare state.

He reasearced poverty in York in 1899, 1936 and 1950. He used an absolute definition of poverty, he made a list and worked out the cost of bare neccessities for life, then worked out this as the poverty line. Those whose income was less than this were in poverty.

They asked people what they thought were essentials. They defined poverty if they were without three or more of the things most people thought of as necessities.

He used a wide definition of poverty and found evidence in 1960's and 1970's, he compared peoples quality of life.

Sociologists have explained poverty in several different ways.

These can be divided into:

- those who see people who are in poverty as a problem

- those who see them as victims of an unjust or failing system

Immediate gratification - the attitude that you should enjoy life now. If you have money, spend it.

Fatalism - the attitude that you can not do anything to inprove your situation.

Charles argues that an underclass has been created in Britain.

An underclass is a group at the bottom of society and cut off from society.

The underclass is said to have been created by the welfare state because welfare encourages dependancy.

People are no longer willing to work and behave like respectable citizens because they know the state will look after them.

The welfare state itself has created the culture that keeps poverty going.

The values of behaviour of the underclass are seen as being like a disease contaminating society.

We live in a society in which there are classes. The poor are those at the very bottom of the class system, but somebody has to be at the bottom. Since the nature of our capitalist society is to allow some people to be better off than others, those at the bottom will be poor in comparrison to them. Poverty is a result of having an unequal society. Relative poverty is a side effect of rewarding those who have talent and work hard, it is unfortunate but necessary for society to work.

Marxists believe the system is unjust, based on exploitation. It is inevitable in this kind of society that some people will be poor comparred to others. Poverty can even be useful to the capitalist system, it helps to keep wages down and profits the rich make up.
