| Annotation | It is known that only a small proportion of pensioners living on a low income are materially deprived. This report is published alongside in-depth qualitative research which was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to understand more about the relationship between material deprivation and low income. It is based on data from a measure of pensioner material deprivation included in the Family Resources Survey (FRS) since May 2008 and reported in the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) report since 2009/10. It looks at the the methodology behind the construction of the material deprivation indicator for older people, and the key characteristics of those in low income and material deprivation: 15 indicators relating to access to goods and services were identified by the FRS. The report analyses material deprivation in terms of type of deprivation (basic, financial, social and housing) and the reasons why people state that they lack an item or items. It considers the different depths of material deprivation that older people experience. (RH). |
