Low Income Londoners and welfare reform

With support from Trust for London Policy in Practice has carried out pan-london analysis of living standards, tracking 600,000 low income families across 19 London boroughs over two years.

Over 550,000 adults and 350,000 children live in these households, representing 27% of the overall population living in these boroughs.

The work is unique in its use of large scale administrative data, linked over time, and its ability to look forward at poverty projections for individual households. We aim to understand the causes and consequences of poverty.
