- Description
- The celebrated Beveridge Report was published in the UK during the Second World War in 1942 and captured a widespread desire for reconstruction or social progress following the wartime privations. He identified five giant evils that beset British society: squalor which referred to inadequate housing and environment, ignorance, want – a lack of the means for health subsistence, idleness or unemployment and disease. Following the war, a number of major developments, including the creation of the British National Health Service, attempted to address these evils in what is now commonly referred to as the welfare state. Almost ever since, governments of different political persuasions have been accused of attempting to dismantle the welfare state.
