*

New measures to lift thousands more children in the UK out of poverty have been announced on 27 March by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions John Hutton.

‘Working for Children’ sets out how the DWP will help parents lift themselves and their children out of poverty through employment.

The strategy was published alongside the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) figures for 2005/2006, which showed a rise in the number of children in relative poverty of 100,000 from 2004/2005 to 2005/2006.
