Study reveals children’s risk of poverty
The study, published today by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), also indicates that lone parents are also vulnerable to social exclusion and when they do fall into poverty they face disproportionate levels of deprivation.
Another group shown to be vulnerable is older people who live alone, and who, according to one of the authors of the report, have “fallen through the cracks” and whose needs have not been addressed through welfare initiatives.
