The Poverty Paradox: Working Families Falling Through the Cracks A study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and Action for Children reveals a disturbing trend: nearly three quarters of children living in poverty are from households where every adult works full time.
Despite record numbers of parents employed, 430,000 children across the UK are at risk of poverty in families that are already doing everything right.
Single parent families are disproportionately affected, accounting for nearly two thirds of those living below the poverty line in working households.
