This book examines the relationship between pauperism and old age pensions, arguing that the number of pensioners is not a reliable indicator of the need for a national pension scheme. The author challenges the assumption that a large proportion of elderly people are paupers, demonstrating that the figures are influenced by the administration of the Poor Law. The author argues that strict enforcement of the 1832 Poor Law Commissioners' recommendations, which discourage outdoor relief and make indoor relief the norm, significantly reduces the number of elderly paupers. The book highlights the importance of good Poor Law administration in preventing old age pauperism, suggesting that a reformed administration, rather than a national pension scheme, is the best way to address the issue.
