| Annotation | This is the second update of Monitoring poverty and social exclusion in Wales, following the original report in 2005, but is the first to be published in a recession. After reviewing ten-year trends in low income statistics, its focus shifts to unemployment and problem debt. The study looks at progress on low income since the mid-1990s; examines unemployment and problem debt in the current recession; considers what action government could take to lessen the recession's impact on people in poverty. Among the statistical findings is that, single pensioners accounted for three-quarters of the reduction in the number of low-income pensioners over a ten year period from the mid-1990s. (KJ). |
