New report on future household poverty.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), who I've mentioned before, have just released a new report on projected household poverty in the UK. To say their projection is bleak is Olympic standard under-statement.

It makes pretty grim reading but if you're interested in how cutting public finance and wages are likely to affect the so-called 'squeezed middle' then the report is well worth reading. If you can't face the full report then the BBC have a typically well presented summary of the debates complete with video and audio interviews.

And in answer to some of your questions from the last few days -YES this is the kind of academic report you can  reference in an assignment.
