Old Age Pensions And The Aged Poor: A Proposal (1899)

By Charles Booth

Book Overview

""Old Age Pensions and the Aged Poor: A Proposal"" is a book written by Charles Booth in 1899. The book is a proposal for a pension system for the elderly poor in England. Booth argues that the current system of poor relief is inadequate and that the elderly poor are particularly vulnerable. He proposes a system of pensions that would provide a basic income for all elderly people, regardless of their work history or income level. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic and social conditions of the elderly poor in England at the time, and makes a compelling case for the need for a pension system. The book is an important historical document, as it helped to shape public opinion and policy on pensions in England in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
