detailed analysis of economic inequality in the UK showed that between the richest 10% of the population and 10% of the poor inhabitants of the country, the income gap increased to 100 times.
 ÂÂ
head of the British government, Gordon Brown has called the research data “sobering”, stating that “despite the correction of inequalities in the last decade, much remains to be done in this direction.”
ÂÂ
In a report entitled “Anatomy of economic inequality in the UK, says that the gap between rich and poor over the past 30 years, only grown. Many of the provisions of this document say about the unattractive role of the Labor Party, although the report indicates, and largely responsible for the conservatives, who led the country in the 80″s and early 90-ies of the last century. Researchers have drawn attention to the fact that by the years 2007-2008 Britain reached its highest level of income inequality of various segments of the population after the Second World War.
ÂÂ
results show that the income of rich households (10% of the population) averages 853 thousand pounds or more. This is 100 times greater than the average income of the poor, which is equal to 8,8 thousand or less (10% of the population). In calculating the income account was taken of car ownership and other property. The income paid professionals, including ba1000nkers and managers of companies (1% of the population) are estimated at 2.6 million pounds or more.
 ÂÂ
current 460-page report, prepared under the guidance of the London School of Economics for 16 months, is considered the most ambitious study to assess citizens” incomes in the history of Britain. First of all, due to its magnitude. In the study, researchers and experts have found “systematic differences in economic equality” that remain between different social groups. According to experts, many find such “inequities” just “shocking”. Thus, in comparison with other industrialized countries, the UK income inequality is very high.
 ÂÂ
central theme of the report was the negative effect of belonging to poor class throughout life, literally from cradle to grave “. Inequality is increasing throughout life, from the choice school and ending with life expectancy. Thus, social background plays a very important role in the level of future wealth. But the thesis of “equal opportunity” for such wide differences between people are not working, that prevents many Brits realize their potential.
ÂÂ
researchers analyzed the total wealth accumulated by homeowners prior to retirement. Richest to retirement could save the state, estimated at 2.2 million pounds and more, including estate and retirement assets. But the poorest, which include ordinary workers have saved about 8 thousand pounds or less. Thus 13% of British children currently live in extreme poverty.
