The “UK Poverty 2024” report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation provides an in-depth analysis of poverty trends in the UK, emphasising the deepening issue of poverty, including very deep poverty and destitution.
The report highlights the rise in poverty levels post-pandemic, with children consistently having the highest poverty rates.
The report discusses the impacts of poverty on different demographics, including disabled individuals, minority ethnic groups, and families in different types of housing. It underscores the need for policy reforms in social security, employment, and housing to tackle the root causes of poverty, along with short-term mitigations against the cost-of-living crisis.
