The changing necessities of life: 1983 to 2012 Stewart Lansley and Joanna Mack Third Peter Townsend Memorial Conference Poverty and Social exclusion in the UK

The necessities question Using shuffle cards participants were asked for each item and activity to distinguish between: items which you think are necessary – which all adults should be able to afford and which they should not have to do without and items which may be desirable but are not necessary.

Deciding what to test Focus groups: in 2012 in five locations across the UK Literature review Cognitive interviews Pilot interviews

The items and activities tested Many items and activities are the same in all years. Some have been excluded as no longer seen as important or ownership nearly 100% Some have been introduced to reflect changing the priorities

The 2012 findings 25 of the 46 items and activities for adults were seen as necessary Highest heating - 96% Lowest dishwasher - 10% research/attitudes-necessities-uk-2012

necessities-groups-uk-2012http://

Is there a consensus? All previous surveys found high levels of consensus. Does this still hold? necessities-groups-uk-2012

scatterplots-uk-2012

The necessities of life Do the public take an absolute or relative view of poverty ? Trends since 1983 and what they tell us about public attitudes

Relative v absolute ‘visiting friends/family in hospital’ ( 90% ) ‘celebrations on special occasions` ( 80% ) ‘being able to afford to attend a wedding/funeral or other such occasions’ ( 78% ) ‘enough money to keep home in decent state of decoration` ( 69% )

Trends: 1983 to 2012 Rising support: washing machine: up from 67% in 1983 to 82% today, phone: up from 43% to 77% today computer: up from 5% in 1990 to 11% in 1999 and 40% today Falling support: two pairs of all weather shoes ( down from 67% to 54% ) a roast joint/veg equivalent ( down from 67% to 36% )

Rise and fall in support for leisure and social activities

What determines change? the emergence of new products and services ( eg a computer ) shifts in customs and culture ( eg roast joint/ equivalent ) wider trends in incomes and in overall living standards

Conclusions Strongly shared views across all groups as to what a minimum standard should contain There is a core minimum standard that has remained consistent across the years Minimum standards reflect the society in which we live and change over time
