Nestlé Family Monitor No. 14: Hard Times: A Study of Pensioner Poverty
Nestlé Family Monitor No. 14: Hard Times: A – Study of Pensioner Poverty
This study has been conducted for the Nestlé Family Monitor by the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA). Nestlé are grateful to the CPA, who personally interviewed each of the pensioners, and support the CPA, in the hope that policy makers in the field of helping pensioners will find this study of value and act on its findings.
The Nestlé Family Monitor is a series of studies into the attitudes and perceptions of family life in Britain today. This ethnographic study looks in detail at the lives of nearly 50 people, all over the age of 70, living in a deprived area in Central London. The study paints a picture of how these people have to make difficult choices in order to survive with few resources other than a state pension and income support.
