Details
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) sought user feedback on the new poverty measure through an analytical consultation running from 18 January to 11 April 2024. The consultation has now closed.
We will publish a response to the feedback we received from users by 4 July 2024.
This is a release of official statistics in development and a statistical consultation on developing new additional poverty statistics based on the Social Metrics Commission (SMC) approach to poverty measurement.
The SMC approach provides a more expansive view of available resources (both savings and inescapable costs) than the income measurement adopted under the existing Households Below Average Income (HBAI) publication, and also proposes some methodological changes.
