UK is sending hundreds of thousands of people to poverty, all thanks to welfare cuts for the past two years. It caused an estimated of 760,000 go into poverty, according to last public report (2009-2012) by The New Policy Institute (NPI) thinktank. All people of different age classes are going to poverty, but child poverty is the most compared to the rest. Around 29% of the UK’s children are in poverty. The government had refused to release the income statistic report of 2013-2014. There had been promises that the child poverty will be eliminated, but The Institute for Fiscal Studies has estimated that child poverty will rise to 23% by 2020.
