Study Notes
Research Hypothesis and Aims
- Hypothesis: The UK government is unsuccessful in tackling poverty.
- Research Aim 1: Identify arguments supporting the government's success in tackling poverty.
- Research Aim 2: Identify arguments suggesting the government's failure in tackling poverty.
- Research Aim 3: Assess public opinion on the government's poverty-tackling efforts.
Research Methods
-
Primary Research (Survey):
- Conducted on November 13, 2024
- Targeted 67 Ross High students and teachers.
- Used multiple-choice questions to gather opinions.
- Advantages: Represented a wide range of backgrounds; inexpensive and easy to conduct; collected data in a format suitable for graphing.
- Disadvantages: Time-consuming due to in-person administration; Limited to basic responses; potentially influenced by social dynamics within the classroom.
- Future Improvement: Online survey to enhance response rate and anonymity.
-
Secondary Research (gov.uk):
- Consulted the gov.uk website for information on poverty reduction.
- Advantages: Quick access to information; readily available without cost; a reputable source.
- Disadvantages: Potential bias due to being an official government website; evolving data collection methods causing data inconsistencies across time.
- Future Improvement: Use alternative, non-governmental sources of information.
Research Findings - Aim 1 (Government Success)
- Child Poverty Act (2017): Aimed to reduce child poverty by 2030, showing government plans, but hasn't met targets yet.
- Reducing Essential Costs: Proposed strategies include aiding energy bills, providing a household support fund, reducing fuel duty and increasing the National Living Wage to address rising costs.
Research Findings - Aim 2 (Government Failure)
- Increasing Child Poverty: Evidence shows a 100,000 increase in children in poverty in 2022.
- Stagnant Working-Age Poverty: Poverty rates among working-age adults remained unchanged between 2019 and 2023.
Research Findings - Aim 3 (Public Opinion)
- Increasing Poverty Perception: 56.7% of respondents believe poverty is an increasing problem.
- Importance of the Issue: 95.57% of respondents considered poverty a significant issue affecting the UK.
Research Conclusion
- The study's hypothesis—that the UK government is unsuccessful in tackling poverty—is supported by the findings.
- While the government has plans for addressing poverty, significant areas of poverty have increased or remained stagnant.
- Public opinion overwhelmingly supports the idea that the government's strategies are inadequate.
- Recommendation: Enhanced public engagement and new approaches to tackling poverty.
