The book also explores the role of Conservative governments in shaping social policy in the context of broader political and economic developments,including the impact of globalization, technological change, and the changing nature of work.
Since 2015, conservative governments have taken a range of policy approaches in key social policy areas such as education, health, housing, employment, children and young people. This book examines these policies in detail, exploring the degree to which they have differed from the previous Coalition government (2010-15).
Austerity has continued to be a central theme of Conservative government policy, with efforts to reduce government spending and control public debt. However, other policy emphases have also emerged, such as a 'levelling up agenda' aimed at reducing economic inequality and improving social mobility.
The book reflects on the rapid changes of Prime Minister throughout this period, comparing the themes of the Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak administrations. It critically examines the impacts of external shocks such as Brexit and COVID-19 on social policy, as well as the changing patterns of public expenditure.
The book also explores the role of conservative governments in shaping social policy in the context of broader political and economic developments, including the impact of globalization, technological change, and the changing nature of work. It examines how these factors have influenced the development of social policy and the challenges that policymakers face in responding to them.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of recent Conservative government social policy, offering valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing policymakers in this area.
