Charles Booth wanted to know the average expectation of the normal workers in London .
Conducting the survey with the low skilled labourers would make a good assumption to the survey process.
The survey actual found out that the averaged low class workers were living in a pathetic condition especially between the age of 28-29 years .
The survey based on low class could also lead to appropriate government action on this
