Children in poverty: Measurement and targets

Inquiry

Children in poverty: Measurement and targets

This inquiry is looking at children in poverty. This is a complex subject, so the Committee’s work will be in several parts.

For the first part of the inquiry, we are interested in finding out:

- how child poverty can most accurately be measured and defined

- what the impact of child poverty is, and how it should be measured

- how the Department for Work and Pensions should work with other parts of government to reduce the numbers of children living in poverty.

Oral evidence, 9:30am to 10:30am
