British Social Attitudes No. 28

The latest British Social Attitudes survey is now available from NatCen. The survey asked over 3,000 people what is was like to live in Britain and how they think Britain is run. Chapters include:

• Childhood
• Child poverty
• NHS
• Housing
• Religion
• School choice
• Higher education

BSA 28 reveals that attitudes have hardened in the wake of the recession, with falling sympathy for the unemployed, lower support for tax rises to fund public services and slipping opposition to private health and schooling.
