Footnotes

1 It is theoretically possible for other costs of living to influence absolute poverty if they impact on measures of inflation, but this is unlikely.

7 A full list of the benefits in kind that count towards income are provided in the section at the end of this document. This list can change as new benefits in kind are introduced.

8 The persistent poverty rate, used in this analysis, is taken from the experimental statistics published by the DWP and the Scottish Government. There may be revisions to this data in future due to changes made by the data providers.

The breakdowns for priority groups were provided by the University of Essex. Although both the Scotland statistic and the priority group breakdowns use the same data source, there may be minor differences in the methodologies used.

The small sample size for the priority group breakdowns will affect reliability of estimates. The available sample for the minority ethnic group was too small to produce figures for this group, and no data is available for households with children under the age of one, as the longitudinal nature of the Understanding Society dataset and persistent poverty measure mean this breakdown would not be meaningful.

Persistent poverty figures are only published as percentages because the survey weights are currently not set up to produce correct grossed-up populations.

9 Statistics produced by DWP and University of Essex. Methodologies may not match exactly. No numbers are available for this measure. See footnote on page 9 for more detail.
