Child Poverty Measurement Framework (UK)

The UK Child Poverty Measurement Framework assesses child poverty by considering income, material deprivation, and social factors. It looks at whether families have enough income to meet basic needs, such as housing, food, and clothing, and whether children can participate in normal activities and social interactions. The framework combines these elements to provide a comprehensive view of children's well-being, helping policymakers identify areas where support is needed. It emphasizes that child poverty isn't just about income but also about the ability to enjoy a standard of living that allows children to thrive and participate fully in society.
