UK Poverty 2019/20

3/3/2020

0 Comments

 
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has published its annual report on UK poverty. Key headlines -
  • In-work poverty is increasing
    More than half of all people in poverty are in a working family – 56% compared to 39% 20 years ago
  • Social security is an essential public service: it should provide the anchor that we all need in tough times and should stop us getting swept into poverty
  • We all need somewhere to live – somewhere to call home – so it’s unacceptable that many of us are shut out of having a secure, affordable home
    Housing costs have risen since 2000/01 for households on low incomes who rent in the private and social rented sectors, while a raft of changes to social security policy have been underway since around 2010, making housing less affordable
