Question

im doing some A' level coursework on poverty and im getting a real big headache finding the exact same list of necessities that was included in the breadline britain survey. could anyone write down the list!thanx

Answer 1

Hi,

The two big poverty studies which come to mind are Rowntree and Booths, but I don&#039;t know if they called the bread line Britain studies.

Rountree&#039;s (1901) study dealt with absolute poverty  and he worked out the exact food needs (as he saw it) for every man woman and child (3-8) for one week.

Unfortunately I only have Rowntree&#039;s needs for one day (a Monday) but they are as follows.

Breakfast:

Man: bread: 8oz, Margarine: 1/2oz, tea: 1pt

Woman: bread 4oz  porridge1 pt

Child: bread 2oz, new Milk 1/2pt, Porridge1/2pt, Sugar 1/2oz

Dinner:

Man: boiled bacon 3oz, pease pudding 12oz

Women: potato&#039;s with milk 20oz, bread: 2oz, Cheese: 1/2oz

Supper:

Man: bread 8oz, Margarine 1/2oz, Cocoa, 1pt

Woman: bread 6oz, vegetable broth 1pt, cheese: 2oz

Child: bread 5oz, new milk 1/2pt

Hope this helps.
