The Poverty Site

JRF logo
The UK site for statistics on poverty and social exclusion.

This site monitors what is happening to poverty and social exclusion in the UK and complements our annual monitoring reports. The material is organised around 50 statistical indicators covering all aspects of the subject, from income and work to health and education.

The indicators and graphs can be viewed by age group or by subject using the menu on the left.

The material covers all parts of the United Kingdom, with specific sections for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

All data is from official sources and is the latest available. All graphs and text are updated whenever new data becomes available.

THE REPORTS

Our tenth annual UK report was published in December 2007.  Reports are also available for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, ethnicity and disability.

KEY FACTS

No time to look at the indicators?  Why not just look at some key facts then.

WHAT'S NEW

Our latest Scottish analysis was published in November 2008.  Each month, all the analyses for which there is new data are updated.
