Devolution's impact on low-income people and places
While many of the key powers to tackle poverty remain reserved to the UK Government, devolved administrations have signed up to UK targets on reducing child poverty, and more recently have developed their own strategies. This Round-up considers the impact devolution has had for low income people and places to date. Reports commissioned by JRF explored broad trends in social and economic disadvantage as well as policy developments in four areas which could make a significant difference to people affected by poverty: ? housing and homelessness ? employment ? neighbourhood regeneration ? long-term care for older people This report explores the key findings and cross-cutting themes emerging from this research and a series of seminars across the UK. It also identifies some of the key challenges in the years ahead if devolution is to make more of an impact on people and places in poverty
