A new report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation entitled, 'UK poverty: Causes, costs and solutions' aims to define what poverty is and its causes, highlighting trends and projections in UK poverty; recommendations are given for tackling:
- the high costs driving poverty, including housing
- poverty in childhood
- poverty in working age
- poverty in later life
- poverty for people with complex needs.
It echoes the findings of a report released earlier this year: 'Living Standards, Poverty and Inequality in the UK, which uses modelling techniques to paint a picture of how things are likely to evolve in the coming years, specifically, labour market trends and the impact of policy changes on household incomes, up to 2020–21.
