Pauperism And Poor Laws

By Robert Pashley

Book Overview

""Pauperism and Poor Laws"" by Robert Pashley is a comprehensive analysis of the social and economic issues surrounding poverty in 19th century England. The book examines the history of the poor laws, which were designed to provide relief for those in need, but often failed to address the root causes of poverty. Pashley explores the factors that contribute to pauperism, including unemployment, low wages, and lack of education. He also discusses the impact of industrialization on the working class and the rise of the middle class. The book provides a detailed analysis of the poor laws, their implementation, and their shortcomings. Pashley argues that a more comprehensive approach is needed to address poverty, including education, job training, and social welfare programs. ""Pauperism and Poor Laws"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of poverty and social welfare in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
