“…Unfortunately, no data were collected in the survey on parental class, so it is impossible to link parental class and the class of respondents directly. We know, however, that home ownership was particularly concentrated among the middle classes (Swenarton and Taylor, 1984) in the inter-war and early post-war period and it is suggested that the current class and tenure characteristics of beneficiaries is linked to the tenure and class characteristics of their parents.…”

“…The answer to this has to be no, for the simple reason that the existing pattern of housing inheritance reflects the social differentials in home ownership of a generation ago. Not only was the incidence of home ownership in 1950 much less than it is today (30 per cent rather than 66 per cent), but home owning was still largely confined to the middle classes (Merrett, 1980;Swenarton and Taylor, 1984) and the inheritances of today are a product of the pattern of home ownership 30 or more years ago. Today, home ownership is far more extensive and, despite the marked class differences in its incidence, it has slowly percolated down into the skilled working class and below.…”

This paper examines the growth of housing inheritance in Britain since the late 1960s using Inland Revenue statistics. It also uses survey evidence to examine the uneven distribution of inheritance by housing tenure, class and region, and assesses its implications for consumption cleavage theory. It argues that at present the social distribution of housing inheritance is far from equal, benefiting home owners and the professional and managerial classes, but that, over the next 40 years, it will become much more widespread as the post-war generation of home owners bequeathes property. It is likely, however, that the children of tenants will be generally excluded from housing inheritance which is largely confined to the children of home owners.

“…Bereits dieser Punkt ist in erster Annäherung wichtig. Da in Großbritannien, anders als in Deutschland, Wohnraum vor allem gekauft wird (Swenarton und Taylor 1985;Scott 2008), signalisiert, wer eine Wohnung oder ein Haus anmietet, zugleich, dass er die nötigen finanziellen Mittel nicht aufbringen kann, um einem gesellschaftlichenS tandard zu entsprechen. Ergänzt und verstärkt wird die so mögliche Stigmatisierung noch dadurch, dass einkommensschwache, zur Miete wohnende Haushalte in eigenen Vierteln gebündelt werden.…”

Die Erfahrung von Armut

Was macht ein Leben in Armut aus? Das Buch beantwortet diese Frage anhand qualitativer Interviews, durch die deutlich wird, dass sich hinter dem Sammelbegriff der Armut eine ganze Lebenswelt verbirgt. Diese dreht sich wesentlich um das basale und kurzfristige ‚Über-die-Runden-Kommen‘. Außerdem stehen Gefühle der Kränkung und der Scham im Zentrum. Großbritannien als Untersuchungsraum gilt hierbei als Prototyp eines sogenannten neoliberalen Wohlfahrtsstaats, in dem Armut zur Abwertung des sozialen Status führt. Das wird anhand der Erfahrungsdimensionen Zeit, Raum und Sozialität ausdifferenziert. Soziale Arbeit hilft den Betroffenen, den Devaluierungen zu begegnen.

“…49 Swenarton and Taylor have claimed that homeownership can also be detected amongst the middle classes moving into new suburban developments. 50 Ilford falls into this category. Whilst there were a number of working-class households in new properties in Ilford, these were firmly in the minority.…”

ABSTRACT:This article examines the development and marketing of suburbia through a case-study of the suburb of Ilford, Essex, between 1880 and 1914. It discusses how Ilford positioned itself, the white-collar clerical workers it targeted, its principal developers and the marketing and development strategies it pursued. It is argued that Ilford achieved success through a comprehensive and integrated marketing strategy which involved a policy of clear positioning, alignment with its target market, close co-operation between its principal stakeholders and the implementation of long-term, sustainable policies.
