Poverty in Scotland 2020: The independent annual report. (October 2020)

This report looks at what has happened to poverty in Scotland before and during the coronavirus outbreak. JRF benefitted from the insights of an advisory group made up of people with lived experience of poverty. Both JRF's analysis and their insight underline the importance of work, social security and housing costs in solving poverty in Scotland, as well as how much the coronavirus storm has unleashed strong currents sweeping many people into poverty and others deeper into poverty.
