The findings of our latest report paint a stark picture of the state of the nation going into the pandemic, with rising child and pensioner poverty, and very high poverty rates for larger families and single-parent families, as well as Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Black families 📈
While we don’t yet have the official poverty data for the pandemic period, we know that the impacts of the pandemic were very uneven.
During the pandemic, people on the lowest incomes were most likely to see their earnings reduced if they were working and to get into debt 💷

Our state of the nation report into poverty in the UK reveals that 1.8 million children are growing up in very deep poverty, meaning family incomes are so low that they are completely inadequate to cover the basics.
Large numbers of children were living on low incomes for prolonged periods of time in the years running up the pandemic.
For many young children, this persistence of poverty means going without essentials is all they have ever known or can remember
