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.
