The Changing Dynamics and Social Outcomes of Deep Poverty in the UK

这一协作性奖项将有助于更广泛的努力，寻求重新思考我们目前如何通过检查更广泛的“穷人”类别中的内部异质性来对贫困进行概念化。具体地说，该合作奖将探索深度贫困的变化动态和社会结果，以及这对贫困衡量和减轻意味着什么。该奖项将做出重要的经验、概念和政策贡献，与WRDTP的两条道路紧密结合。首先，这一奖项将探讨失业、社会背景和人口结构(如种族、性别和年龄)如何影响深度贫困的程度和动态，包括这对更广泛的福祉、健康和社会成果意味着什么，这些都是福祉、健康和社区道路的核心。第二，该奖项将通过探索有助于扶贫增长的家庭和税收惠益因素，为可持续增长、管理和经济生产力途径的研究和政策议程做出贡献。鉴于疫情对低收入群体(在健康、收入和社会结果方面)的不成比例影响，这一奖项尤为重要。这一奖项将跨越工作社会学、经济社会学和社会政策，使博士生研究人员能够利用社会科学的洞察力。这一奖项将使博士研究人员能够结合多学科的视角，探索随着时间的推移深度贫困的变化动态和意义。社会政策和工作社会学在许多方面都是多学科的研究领域。经济社会学在衡量和分析贫困方面取得了重大进展，无论是作为一个单一维度的范畴，还是作为多个维度的经验。特别是，经济社会学家开发的创新和方法论实验使人们能够更好地捕捉和研究发达资本主义背景下深度贫困者的低收入动态。这在美国尤其如此。经济社会学家在这一领域开发的经验、方法和工具将与那些在社会政策和工作社会学中研究(深度)贫困的人所面临的一些分析问题展开对话。这一合作奖项还将通过与工作和养老金部门收入分析小组的合作，将以前遥不可及的专业专业知识带到研究问题上。

This collaborative award will contribute towards wider efforts seeking torethink how we currently conceptualise poverty by examining internalheterogeneity within the broader category of 'the poor'. Specifically, thiscollaborative award will explore the changing dynamics and socialoutcomes of deep poverty and what this means for poverty measurementand alleviation.This award will make an important empirical, conceptual and policycontribution that aligns strongly with two WRDTP pathways. First, thisaward will explore how unemployment, social background anddemographics (e.g. race, gender and age) impact upon the extent anddynamics of deep poverty, including what this means for wider well-being,health and social outcomes that are central to the Well-being, Health andCommunities pathway. Second, this award will contribute towards theresearch and policy agenda of the Sustainable Growth, Management andEconomic Productivity pathway by exploring household and tax-benefitfactors contributing towards pro-poor growth. This is of particularimportance in light of the pandemic's disproportionate impact onlow-income groups (in terms of health, income and social outcomes).Working across the sociology of work, economic sociology and socialpolicy, this award will enable the doctoral researcher to draw on insightsfrom across the social sciences. This award will enable to doctoralresearcher to combine multi-disciplinary perspectives to explore thechanging dynamics and significance of deep poverty over time.Social policy and the sociology of work are, in many respects,multi-disciplinary fields of enquiry. Economic sociology has made significantheadway in the measurement and analysis of poverty both as a unidimensional category and mulit-dimensional experience. In particular,innovations and methodological experimentation developed by economicsociologists has made it possible to better capture and researchlow-income dynamics of those in deep poverty across advanced capitalistcontexts. This is particularly the case in America. The lessons, methodsand tools developed by economic sociologists in this field will be broughtinto conversation with some of the analytical questions that have occupiedthose researching (deep) poverty within social policy and the sociology ofwork.This collaborative award will also bring previously out-of-reach professionalexpertise and knowledge to bear on the research question through thepartnership with the income analysis team in the Department for Work andPensions.
