Chart A10: Child Poverty Act Targets:
- Note (1) that the absolute low income target for 2020 is based on children in households whose equivalised income is below 60% of the (inflation adjusted) median income in 2010/11. At present, absolute child poverty is measured by individuals living in households whose equivalised income is below 60% of the (inflation adjusted) median income in 1998/99. The absolute child poverty measure will be rebased to 2010/11 prices from 2011/12 onwards.
- Note (2) that the combined low income and material deprivation poverty indicator is partly based on a suite of questions from the Family Resources Survey about whether people can afford to buy certain items and participate in leisure activities. The goods and services included in the survey are updated periodically and will be updated for next year's publication. This means that the target for 2020 will be based on a different set of goods and services from what is used in these calculations.
