Third of Britons ‘in poverty’ at least once over last four years

Nearly a third of people in the UK have fallen into poverty at least once in four years.

Women are more at risk of experiencing longer-term poverty than men, the analysis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) also suggests.

The gap between men and women remaining in poverty over several years has been “relatively stable” at 1.5% but the UK was behind countries including Lithuania, Spain, and Poland.
