The level of Income Support for both pensioners and families with two or more children has gone up faster than average earnings since the late 1990s, but the working-age adults without children fall considerably behind. 

Half of all people in social housing were in low-income households compared to one in seven of those in other housing tenures. 

Inner London is deeply divided: it has by far the highest proportion of people in low income but also a high proportion of people on a high income. 

Over the last decade, the poorest tenth of the population have, on average, seen a fall in their real incomes after deducting housing costs.  This is in sharp contrast with the rest of the income distribution, which, on average, has seen substantial rises in their real incomes.  The richest tenth of the population have seen much bigger proportional rises in their incomes than any other group. 

More than half of all low-income households are paying full Council Tax, noticeably higher than in the mid-1990s.

In 1990 it replaced the rates system which was paid by all residential property owners based on the value of their home. 

The unpopularity of the new charge led to the poll tax riots in London in March 1990 and - indirectly - to the downfall of the then Prime Minister othe same year. 

Under the new Conservative Prime Minister John Major the poll tax was replaced by the council tax in 1993. 

The new tax reverted to a sliding scale of payments but was still payable by all adults.

Lifestyle: Within the 1990’s lifestyle had completely changed. Women were having children later in life, and there was a lot of pregnancy before marriage. However, if this was to happen 60 years ago, unmarried pregnant women were sent to special hostels and, had to give up their child for adoption. This is where you can clearly see the change in society. Within this decade, there were 3.1 million only-child families; there were many money financial problems and women had to work and pay towards bills. Again, from the other decades I wrote about, it was the man’s duty to provide for the family. In turn, it was harder to stereotype as there was becoming less of a structure/routine. It was up to people how they wanted to live their lives, whether it was the best way or not.
