For the period ending March 2019, data on children and pensioners in material deprivation and low income in Wales.
This is not the latest release in the series: Material deprivation and low income
Material deprivation is a measure of living standards. We define a person to be living in material deprivation if he or she is not able to access a certain number of goods and services.
DWP use the Family Resources Survey to publish statistics about children and pensioners in material deprivation in their , broken down for UK countries and regions of England.
Data from DWP shows that:
- 11% of children living in Wales between 2016-17 and 2018-19 were in material deprivation and low income households. Low income households are those that had a total household income below 70% of the UIK average household income – before housing costs were paid. This is down slightly from the 12% reported last year.
- 8% of pensioners living in Wales between 2016-17 and 2018-19 were in material deprivation (income is not considered for pensioners). This is slightly lower than the 9% reported last year.
