A series of four programmes 2: The Workers
Everyday family life - Dad working, Mum working, children on the YTS - is visibly, unmistakably prosperous.
Not-so-everyday family life on a single pay packet, on social security, takes place on the wrong side of a growing gulf between the Joneses and the non-Joneses.
Is the Government responsible, directly or indirectly, for this growing wealth gap? What's boosting incomes when the trade unions are shadows of their former powerful selves and new jobs are frequently part-time and often badly paid? Mary Goldring takes evidence from families in and out of work, from an opinion poll commissioned by Analysis and from the official record. Producer DAVID MORTON
