Children: Poverty
(asked on 14th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information his Department has on the number and proportion of children living in poverty in Blaenau Gwent in each year for which data is available.
National statistics on the number of children in relative low income are set out in the annual "Households Below Average Income" publication. The number and proportion of children in relative low income is not available at local authority or constituency level in this publication because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this geography.
Latest 3-year estimates for Wales of the proportion of children in low income are available in Table 4.16ts in the file “4_children_timeseries_risk” from this link:
