Poverty The first in our new series of briefings on the state of Wales looks at poverty. Using data from the Family Resources Survey / Households below Average Income data set, this briefing provides a valuable overview about poverty in Wales today.
Key messages are:
- The poverty rate in Wales has stayed broadly the same in the last five years.
- Over 60 per cent of children in poverty live in a working household.
- The poverty rate amongst pensioners has increased in the last five years.
State of Wales briefings are one of the benefits of subscribing to the Bevan Foundation.
