Using UKHLS to measure levels of persistent poverty.
Between 2017 and 2021, 12% of people in Scotland were in persistent poverty after housing costs.
The rates were highest for children (18%) and lower for working-age adults (10%) and pensioners (10%).

Paul Fisher does a great job summarising our recent paper in this 10 minute podcast https://twitter.com/usociety/status/1635605821273907201
I really enjoyed this book and would 100% recommend to anyone who is interested in cinema, Hollywood, the silent era, culture and society in the 1920s... It's full of enthralling vignettes of life in the early decades of the 20th century.
