Early Employment and Experience

In: Sir Hans Singer

  • D. John Shaw

Abstract

Singer’s first employment after Cambridge was to have a profound and lasting effect on his later work and career. In 1936, the influential Pilgrim Trust in the United Kingdom embarked upon a major enquiry into high and protracted unemployment that existed in the depressed areas of Britain. The study was conducted under the supervision of a high-level committee with William Temple (then the Archbishop of York, later Archbishop of Canterbury) as chairman and Sir William (later Lord) Beveridge (the author of the famous ‘Beveridge Plan’ of 1942 on social welfare — see below) as its main adviser. Both men were to have a strong influence on Singer’s future thinking in addition to the circles of teachers and friends he had enjoyed in Bonn and Cambridge.
