| Summary: | This case study establishes British housing policy in the 1970s as point of comparison with the current era to show how historical documents and secondary sources can be used in social policy research. In the 1970s, housing policy-makers grappled with similar economic challenges to the ones that face today's policy-makers. Yet, the responses by policy-makers to these problems in the 1970s differed. The study distinguishes between different types of sources and forms of historical evidence, introduces some of the problems that might arise when comparing two different periods, and offers guidance on interpreting historical data. |
