| Annotation | Although many people remain poor for some time, there is considerable movement into and out of poverty. Policy-makers are increasingly interested in the ways in which people escape from poverty. These findings report a study by Peter Kemp and colleagues at the Social Policy Research Institute, University of York, which reviewed existing evidence on this topic. It found that changes in non-labour income such as pensions and savings are the main routes out of poverty. Increased benefit take-up would help older people to escape from poverty, especially for the one third who are entitled but do not claim it. The full report, "Routes out of poverty: a research review", is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), and is available from York Publishing Services. (RH). |
