For children and young adults London is one of the hardest places in England to be poor, according to research published this Thursday.
The report, by the thinktank New Policy Institute and Trust for London, a charitable body that funds community and voluntary sector groups, compares poverty and inequality in the capital with the remainder of England.
Entitled London's Poverty Profile, the report finds that, for all age groups, poverty is higher in London than in the rest of England. And the gap is greatest for children: the data show that 38% are in low-income households, compared with 30% in the rest of England.
