A statistical update
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 05:09 authored by Alan BuckinghamIt is more than six years since Charles Murray first intervened in the British underclass debate. Many of his claims and predictions were dismissed at the time either on the basis of a lack of quality evidence or his lack of familiarity with British society. In this appendix I shall update Murray’s data using official statistics, outline recent developments in the debate over the underclass in Britain, and draw on my own analysis of the National Child Development Study to help us adjudicate between some of the competing claims.
