Charles Booth (1840-1916) was an English philanthropist and social researcher, most famed for his work on documenting working class life in London at the end of the 19th century.
Charles Booth was born into a wealthy Liverpool ship-owning company and in the mid-1880s, he moved the company's offices to London.
Booth also added his voice to the cause of state old age pensions as a practical instrument of social policy to alleviate destitution in old age, established as one of the commonest causes of pauperism.
