By George Smith, Michaele Noble, Chris Dibben, et al.

Drawing on data from the Department for Work and Pensions about claimants of Income Support and Jobseeker's Allowance in 1995, 1998 and 2000, this report analyses the changing patterns of income deprivation that have occurred in this time period for different groups of people in England.The report asks the following questions about the claimants: Who are the claimants, for example, how many are families with children or older unemployed people?Are they focused in specific geographic locations?What are the dynamics of movement between and off benefits?How has the profile of income deprivation changed over time, in numbers, composition and concentration'. vbTab]The findings are broken down by Government Office Regions, local authorities and wards and by types of claimant, and are extensively illustrated with tables, charts and maps.Growing together or growing apart? is valuable reading for anyone interested in welfare, poverty and geographical inequalities."
