Isi artikel

Child poverty in Britain fell in Labour's first term, though by much less than micro - simulation exercises suggested. Nonetheless, the decline is statistically significant, and is greater if measured just in the last 6 months of 2000 / 1, rather than the whole year. The decline also proves robust to the choice of poverty line, although that which the Government has emphasised (60 % of contemporary income) shows a somewhat bigger drop than any other than any other poverty line that is a fraction of median income. Among those who remain poor, the average shortfall in measured income below the poverty line has increased since 1996 / 7. Looking ahead, the methodology currently used in official poverty statistics may limit the potential to reduce child poverty significantly further.
