| Annotation | This report presents data which reveals the high levels of poverty and income polarisation in London. It shows the spatial distribution of disadvantage in the capital, with most wards in Inner London marked by high levels of deprivation, regardless of what indicators are used. There is an ethnic dimension to poverty, with most minority groups experiencing high levels of child poverty and unemployment. The focus is on the 13 Inner London boroughs and the City of London, but the 19 Outer London boroughs are also considered. Data was drawn from the "Households below average income" dataset 1998/99 to 2000/01, compiled by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Tables and figures with maps of London wards illustrate the findings, but, apart from the percentage of pensioners living in poverty and life expectancy at birth by local authority, few specifically focus on older people. A 13-page summary accompanies this report. (KJ/RH). |
