Life
Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree was born in Works First York study (1899) Rowntree investigated In Rowntree's work, he surveyed poor families in York and drew a According to this measure, 27.84 percent of the total population of York lived below the poverty line. [Rowntree, B S: "Poverty: A Study in Town Life", page 298. Macmillian and CO., 1901] This result corresponded with that from Charles Booth’s study of poverty in London and so challenged the view, commonly held at the time, that abject poverty was a problem particular to London and was not widespread in the rest of Britain. He placed those below his poverty line into two groups depending on the reason for their poverty. Those in In analyzing the results of the investigation he found that people at certain stages of life, for example in old age and early childhood, were more likely to be in abject poverty, living below the poverty line, then at other stages of life. From this he formulated the idea of the poverty cycle [Searle, G R: “A New England?”, page 196. Oxford University Press, 2004 ] in which some people moved in and out of absolute poverty during their lives. Rowntree's argument that poverty was the result of low wages went against the traditionally held view that the poor were responsible for their own plight. [ [http://www.jrf.org.uk/centenary/poverty.html Joseph Rowntree Foundation Centenary: Poverty ] ] econd York study (1936) Rowntree conducted a further study of poverty in York in 1936 under the title Poverty and Progress. This was based largely on a similar research method as his earlier study and found absolute poverty among the working class in York had decreased by 50% since his first study. [Briggs, Asa: "A Study of the Work of Seebohm Rowntree: 1871-1954", page 284. Longmans, 1961] However as he changed his definition of the poverty line, and so the measure of absolute poverty, from his earlier study this is not a direct comparison. In this study he included allowances for some items which were not strictly necessary for survival, these included newspapers, books, radios, beer, tobacco, holidays, and presents. His results showed that the causes of poverty had changed considerably over half a century. In the 1890s, the major reason for Third York study (1951) Rowntree published a third study of York's poverty in 1951 under the title By the 1950s, it appeared that absolute poverty was a minor problem pockets did remain, for example among the elderly, but it was believed that increased welfare benefits would soon eradicate this lingering poverty. The conquest of poverty was put down to an expanding economy as the 1950s were the years of the 'affluent society', to government policies of Further writings His work Criticism of his work Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, researchers became increasingly dubious about the ‘conquest of poverty’. Rowntree’s concept of subsistence poverty, and the indicators he used to measure poverty, was strongly criticized. His measurement of adequate Rowntree’s estimates further ignored the fact that most of their income was for food that his budget disallowed. Nor did he allow for the fact that choice of food is based on the conventions of a person’s social class and region, not upon a diet sheet drawn up by experts. Thus Peter Townsend argues that in relation to the budgets and customs of life of ordinary people, the make-up of the subsistence budget was unbalanced. Influence Liberal reforms Rowntree was a supporter of the Liberal Party and hoped that his work would influence Liberal politicians. Rowntree became close friends with Labour Party Poverty and Progress impacted on the policies of the post-war Labour Government and Poverty and the Welfare State was used in a 1951 Labour party election manifesto headed Ending Poverty although this was without his knowledge. [Briggs, Asa: "A Study of the Work of Seebohm Rowntree: 1871-1954", page 322. Longmans, 1961] Industrialist and philanthropist Seebohm and the Rowntree's firm broke new ground in terms of industrial relations, welfare and management. Colonel Lyndall Urwick describes him as "the British management movement's greatest pioneer" in his book Golden Book of Management. [cited in Briggs, Asa: "A Study of the Work of Seebohm Rowntree: 1871-1954", page 86. Longmans, 1961] His religion impacted on his business practices and he believed that the existence of companies which paid low wages was bad for the "nation's economy and humanity". With his father, Joseph Rowntree, a number of employee benefits were implemented including wage increases, an eight hour day and a pension scheme. In 1904 a doctor was employed to offer free advice to all employees and this was followed a short time later by the creation of a dental department with a resident dentist. Seebohm oversaw the formation of an In 1947 when the British Institute of Management was created he became an Honorary Founder Member and in 1952 the first English person to become an Death Rowntree died on Bibliography * References External links * [http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RErowntreeS.htm Spartacus page on Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree] ee also * Persondata Источник: Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree
