Abstract

[In this paper we explore the types of employment and livelihood strategies witnessed on an inner-city estate in London. In doing so we engage with debates over the changing occupational class structure of London, contending that although the estate was a neat enough microcosm of city-wide trends in terms of inequality and professionalisation, because of the day-to-day dynamics of residents’ working and social lives a perception of social polarisation dominated their understandings of the city. Key factors here included the ongoing restructuring of London’s labour market and a tendency for people to see the world in terms of an opposition between ‘winners’ and ‘losers’.]
