Wales has worst child poverty in UK

Around 200,000 children are living in poverty in Wales, or one in three of the total, according to a new report from the Save the Children charity. In addition, as many as 90,000 live in severe poverty. On both counts, Wales has the highest rate of child poverty of any nation in the UK.
Key points

    Approximately 600,000 children live in Wales: of those, one in three, or 200,000, are in poverty (in households at or below 60 per cent of median income). 90,000 (14 per cent) are living in severe poverty (in households at or below 50 per cent of median income).
    More than half (53 per cent) of Welsh children in low-income families are worried their parents are finding it harder to pay for everyday necessities such as food, heating and clothes.
    A quarter of parents (25 per cent) living on low incomes in Wales report frequently skipping meals, and feel they have nothing else left to cut back on.
    A fifth of Welsh parents on low incomes say stress about money affects their relationship with their children.
    Rising living costs, high unemployment, cuts in public spending and benefit changes are all set to make the position in the years immediately ahead.

Child poverty: Wales is the only UK nation to see increase

Wales was the only UK nation to see a rise in child poverty last year, according to research by charities.

It suggested 29.3% of children were in poverty in 2017-18, a rise of 1%.

Sean O'Neill, of Children in Wales, said parents had to make "impossible choices" between feeding themselves or their children.
