If we found seven typical 5-year-olds to represent today’s UK, what would their stories reveal? In this *Ethical Matters* talk, social scientist **Danny Dorling** gets to the heart of post-pandemic Britain’s most pressing issues. What do we miss when we focus only on the superrich and the most deprived? What kinds of lives are British children living between the extremes? Why are most British parents on below-average income? Who are today’s real middle class? And how can we reverse the trends leaving all children worse off than their parents?
**Danny Dorling** is a social scientist whose books include Inequality and the 1% and All That Is Solid. He is the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford, and a patron of RoadPeace, Comprehensive Future and Heeley City Farm.
Danny’s book, *Seven Children: Inequality and Britain’s Next Generation*, will be available to buy in person from Newham Bookshop on the day.
Presented by Conway Hall.
