The UK has slipped into a mire of poverty, joblessness,
insecure work and private rented sector (PRS) housing over the last 10 years. The
Joseph Rowntree Foundation's (JRF) 'Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion'
report shows that the coalition's alleged recovery of the UK's economy has left
13 million living in poverty - and half of all those living in poverty are in a
working family. Though there has been a big fall in the number of over 75s living
in poverty, the number of adults under 25 living in poverty has soared.
Compared to 10 years ago, many more of those in poverty are now living in the
PRS. The report highlights the way the housing market has had a negative impact
on people in poverty. Download the
report from the JRF website.
