Can we solve UK poverty?

Can we solve UK poverty? | In the news: data in the UK Data Service collection across the web | Scoop.it
“The poor are always with us,” goes the Victorian maxim, but not everyone believes that has to be the case. Some organisations have begun to make the bold suggestion that we could do far more than simply alleviating poverty in the UK and actually set out to end it. In fact, that’s the premise of a new strategic report from social change think-tank the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). Solving poverty will not be quick or easy, the organisation warns, but it’s time to start discussing how it could be achieved.
