Résumé 0

This article intends to assess New Labour’s achievements on their poverty and inequality agenda after 13 years in office. It notably suggests that while reducing significantly the number of children living in low-income households, New Labour has failed notably to build a fairer society or to make work pay (and thereby to alleviate poverty).
