Seven Children: Inequality and Britain’s Next Generation

Feb 25, 2025 | foreignaffairs.com | Danny Dorling |Andrew Moravcsik

Not since the Great Depression has inequality in the United Kingdom been as high as it is today. In this regard, the country more closely resembles the United States than its European neighbors. No one has been hit harder than the young; the United Kingdom has the most steeply rising level of child poverty of all developed countries. This disturbing book, inspired by the famous television series Seven Up!, follows seven British children born in 2018.

Oct 26, 2024 | jacobin.com | Danny Dorling

Introducing a new word into the English language is no easy task. A colleague of mine claims that a medical paper he coauthored years ago was the original source for the phrase “vanilla sex,” originally referring to sex unlikely to result in much calorie-reducing physical exercise.
Exam Nation: Why Our Obsession with Grades Fails Everyone - and a Better Way to Think About School

Oct 1, 2024 | literaryreview.co.uk | Danny Dorling |Sammy Wright

In the run-up to the 2019 election, an extremely irate man appeared on Question Time attacking Labour’s plans to increase taxes on those who, like him, earned over £80,000 – in other words, the top 5 per cent of earners. He accused them of lying, claiming he was ‘nowhere near in the top 5 per cent … I’m not even in the top 50 per cent.’He was, of course, wrong and much mocked on social media. But his mistake is extremely common – and understandable.
The UK: international child poverty outlier

Sep 30, 2024 | tandfonline.com | Danny Dorling

ABSTRACTThe UK has not only one of the highest rates of child poverty in the rich world, but also the most rapidly rising rate in this grouping. Within the UK, a higher proportion of children are poor in the South East of England than in Scotland. The huge rise in economic inequality in the 1980s caused the UK to become an international outlier in terms of child poverty. All subsequent UK governments have maintained inequality at high levels – by choice.

Children’s lives in the UK are changing. They are becoming shorter in height. More of them are going hungry than they were a few years ago. Recently, more each year than they did a few years ago. Increased poverty, more destitution and the effects of ongoing austerity are the clear culprits. But why did this happen to our children?
