  William Beveridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Beveridge, the eldest son of a judge in the Indian Civil Service, was born in Bengal, India, on 5th March 1879.
Beveridge saw full employment (which he defined as unemployment of no more than 3%) as the pivot of the social welfare programme he expressed in the 1942 Beveridge Report, and Full Employment in a Free Society (1944) expressed how this goal might be gained.
In 1946 Beveridge was created Baron Beveridge, of Tuggal in the County of Northumberland, and eventually became leader of the Liberals in the House of Lords.

 William Beveridge
Beveridge was created Baron Beveridge of Tuggal and eventually became leader of the Liberals in the House of Lords.
Beveridge was the first major figure to subject the problem to serious analysis, based partly on the figures he was able to obtain through the Poor Law Commission and partly through his characteristically humane work at Toynbee Hall in East London, where both he and, later, Attlee first became aware of the 'social problem'.
The Beveridge scheme may ultimately be adopted in the somewhat mutilated form, but it is something of an achievement even to be debating such a thing in the middle of a desperate war in which we are still fighting for survival.

William Beveridge was born in 1879 and he became a social worker in the East End of London in 1903.
Since Beveridge and others believed the birth rate was falling and thus the country would, in the long term, suffer from this decline, his ideas were also coloured by a desire to encourage women to have children and not to penalise them for so doing.
Beveridge was not the first to raise the questions of children's allowances : Rowntree himself and others had advocated their introduction before the War and even in the period 1940-1941, an inter-Party group was formed to accelerate their introduction.

 CNN - Cold War: Chat with Albert J. Beveridge III
Albert Beveridge: Ironically, in the period between 1945 and 1948, the United States spent almost $11 billion in Europe, which was almost the same amount that was spent on the Marshall Plan, but the effort was bilateral and uncoordinated.
Albert Beveridge: Virtually all of it was paid back and interestingly enough, the Germans created a fund with their counterpart funds which I believe is in excess of $80 billion to $100 billion and has helped East Germany integrate itself into the new German republic.
Albert Beveridge: The World Bank and the IMF grew along with the Marshall Plan -- I should say, were developed at the same time, and grew out of the same basic premise that economic security was essential to political stability, and that there should be international institutions which helped that stability.

 New England Economic Review: Shifts in the Beveridge Curve, Job Matching, and Labor Market Dynamics
While the Beveridge curve is often used to summarize the state of the labor market, it is not a structural economic relationship.
The authors discuss some of the issues surrounding the job-matching process and attempt to estimate the extent to which changes in the job-matching function are responsible for changes in the position of the Beveridge curve.
They also consider other potential sources of shifts in the Beveridge curve, including shifts in the age and gender composition of the labor force and changes in the amount of "churning" in the labor market.

 William H. Beveridge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Lord Beveridge was so highly influenced by the Fabian Socialists - in particular by Beatrice Potter Webb, with whom he worked on the 1909 Poor Laws report - that he could readily be counted among them.
However, he was perhaps the best economist among them - his early work on unemployment (1909) and his massive historical study of prices and wages (1939) being clear testaments of his scholarship.
In short, the Beveridge Report outlined the construction of the modern welfare state - the culmination of the Fabians' project.

 Daily: Ryan Beveridge
Beveridge’s score helps re-create the atmosphere of schizophrenia and terror that Ramirez created.
Knowing that the film was based on real-life events, Beveridge’s score took a unique approach, going for what he said were, “weird and crazy sounds with an orchestral feel.” He described it as “industrial drones” sounds with music and cues that were not necessarily created with the customary instruments.
The music is a bit of a departure for Beveridge, having previously done more ‘nice music for romantic comedies,” but he said the technological aspect of manipulating the sounds he created to make them sound musical appealed to him.
