In 1942 former LSE Director William Beveridge launched his blueprint for a British universal care system, ‘from the cradle to the grave’. Some 75 years on, LSE offers a week-long festival of public events, starting on February 19, exploring today’s “Five Giants”: the challenges of poverty; health and social care; education and skills; housing and urbanisation; and the future of work.

In this episode, LSE’s Christine Whitehead, Professor Emeritus in Housing Economics, discusses squalor / housing.
We will be running an online voting system to decide which "Giant" issue would a modern day Beveridge prioritise. The sixth "Giant" will be selected from: Sustainability, Equity, Loneliness, Security and Extremism. To cast your vote please visit: [ Ссылка ]
