Citizenship, Work and Welfare

Focusing on the evolution of citizenship in 19th and 20th-century Britain, the book examines how industrialization shaped debates around government responsibilities and individual rights. It highlights the shift from basic needs to the broader concept of 'inclusion' in social activities. The analysis culminates in a discussion on the challenges of fulfilling citizenship entitlements amidst rising societal expectations, ongoing unemployment, and an ageing population, reflecting on the complexities of modern citizenship.
