On 3 December 2007. the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) published a report (Monitoring poverty and social exclusion 2007) which uses government data from a wide range of sources to assess the progress being made in eliminating poverty and social exclusion. The analysis covers a range of issues, including low income, work, qualifications, health, housing, disadvantaged children and exclusion from services. A major theme for this year’s report is differences by gender. The report also questions recent progress against poverty and social exclusion, looking at child poverty and unemployment rates among young adults.
