Fighting Poverty and Inequality in an Age of Affluence

The Fabian Society, in association with the Webb Memorial Trust , are conducting a major new research project to celebrate the centenary of a landmark contribution to social justice.

Understanding Attitudes to Tackling Economic Inequality

This project, supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, aims to investigate some of the underlying ‘drivers’ of public attitudes towards economic inequality and welfare policy, and explore the elements around which a public consensus for tackling economic inequality might be built.

The Equality Project

With the support of the Commission for Racial Equality, the Equal Opportunities Commission, the Disability Rights Commission and Stonewall, the Fabian Equality Project held a series of discussions on equality issues as well as holding a series of seminars around equality and discrimination and commissioning a nationwide poll on "fair" salary levels.

British Muslim Citizenship and Integration: The Role of Government

John Denham MP, then chair of the Home Affairs Committee, and Sadiq Khan MP, elected for Tooting in May 2005, who are both members of the Fabian Executive, led a Fabian project which sought to make a significant intervention into the debate about British Muslim citizenship and integration.

Fabian Life Chances and Child Poverty Commission

The Fabian Life Chances and Child Poverty Commission ran from 2004 to 2006. Its final report, 'Narrowing the Gap', has had a substantial impact on policy and political debate about inequality, and the interim report, 'What does the public really think about poverty?' was praised for its innovative deliberative research into public attitudes. The Fabian Society has held a number of major events to debate the Commission's report and is now developing the work of the Commission through further research, publications and events.
