We welcome today's recommendations that the UK gvmt commission 2031 censuses.

The census remains a cornerstone of how we understand our society—and it’s great to see UKSA recognising its user's needs on this.

A mighty tome, interesting discussion of the emergence of relative measures (Pg 59 etc seq) from the 19
60s (crediting Townsend and others) but unclear exactly when govts adopted them and how the lines were drawn - suggests Townsend himself was wary of the arbitrary line

I'm pretty sure I have a book somewhere called something thrilling like The Development of Poverty Indicators in the EU. I'll see if I can dig it out.

I have a feeling it came from research by Peter Townsend? I may have that wrong. I am pretty sure I knew the answer to this at a point in my life.

I completely agree, but it has become politically unsayable. I think the transformation of work towards gig and precarious work makes these arguments and discussions all the more urgent.

It tells us that if you are a political party and these are the exact things you say to the public, you will have very substantive support.

I don't think tax data is the answer? Really a lot of people are not captured in our tax datasets as they are not taxpayers
