Exclusive: Labour party research also finds black children at least twice as likely to grow up poor as white children
More than half of black children in the UK are now growing up in poverty, a new analysis of official data has revealed.
Black children are also now more than twice as likely to be growing up poor as white children, according to the Labour party research, which was based on government figures for households that have a “relative low income” – defined as being below 60% of the median, the standard definition for poverty.
