Sociology
Booth’s (1901) study revealed that the percentage of people in London who were living in poverty was:
30.70%
27.50%
18.60%
33.20%
30.70%
In 1886, Charles Booth conducted one of the first systematic, statistical surveys of poverty across London. He defined eight categories of people on the basis of their type and level of earnings, which he called social classes. Below a relative poverty line of 21s, per week, there were three categories: those living in ‘ordinary poverty’, ‘chronic want’, and ‘loafers’ or the ‘underclass’. Put together, these three groups represented 30.7% of the London population who were living in poverty. 737-739
