43. Poverty Unpacked - March chat
Poverty in the UK is high and on the rise. Announced cuts will send more families into poverty.
In this episode, I discuss the latest figures, implications of the announced welfare cuts and importance of redistribution for breaking intergenerational poverty.
In conversation with others, we explore how poverty affects the mind, relationships, emotions and society as a whole, and what can be done to change it. Hear from activists, researchers, policy makers, and those with lived experience of poverty around the world.
