A list of participants is included as Annex A. References and further reading relating to presentations are listed as Annex B ESRC decided to hold this conference to help broaden Treasury links with sociologists and social policy specialists. The theme was a revisiting in the light of new evidence of the idea of ‘cycles of deprivation’ which was the subject of a major initiative (on transmitted deprivation) by the then SSRC and DHSS in the 1970s, following a major speech on the subject by Sir Keith Joseph. He was intrigued by the contrast between an increase in living standards co-existing with the existence of a group of people who were in poverty and underachieving and re-creating itself. The conference was introduced by Professor Michael Rutter, who was involved in the original SSRC/DHSS initiative, including a review of research, Cycles of Disadvantage: A Review of Research (Rutter and Madge, 1976).
