Rural areas in the 1930s: While not as drastically affected by unemployment as cities , rural poverty remained high. Estimates suggest over 60% of rural households and 80% of farm families were impoverished. Food insecurity was widespread, leading to malnutrition and related health problems, like stunted growth, weakened immune systems, and increased vulnerability to diseases.

The chief thing dragging them down is unemployment, which is presently tearing the social fabric of Thatcher’s England apart. The catalyst for ‘Don’t Give Up’ was a photograph I saw by Dorothea Lange, inscribed ‘In This Proud Land,’ which showed the dust-bowl conditions during the Great Depression in America. Without a climate of self-esteem, it’s impossible to function.” — Peter Gabriel weaves generations together in SPIN magazine, September 1986.
