However, there is a political question about whether more people should be eligible for benefits per se. [...]

21 p, 1.5 MB Deep poverty : everyday financial crisis in Leeds / Edmiston, Daniel ; Hyde, Emma ; Adnan-Smith, Thomas
Rising inflation is pulling those already below the poverty line into deeper, more severe forms of financial crisis. How are those towards the very bottom of the income distribution being affected by the cost-of-living crisis? In what ways do their experiences differ from the more general challenges of living on a low income? And what can be done to ensure institutions and services are responsive to their needs? Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with 40 people living in Leeds, this briefing explores these questions to better understand the 'cliff edges' and compounding forms of disadvantage that deep poverty can engender in the lives of those affected.
