Modelling child poverty in 2010 and 2020 - updating the forecasts

A key part of the research published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2006 involved modelling what it would cost to meet the target of halving child poverty by 2010 (and eradicating it by 2020) and the likely levels of future child poverty under different scenarios. The JRF has now commissioned a project to update that modelling using more recent data and forecasts. This will be carried out by Mike Brewer (Institute for Fiscal Studies), Holly Sutherland (University of Essex) and Philip Rees (University of Leeds). It will be published in early 2009.
