:''This article is about poverty within the population of the United Kingdom as distinct from UK policy on world poverty.'' The United Kingdom is a developed country with comparatively large income differences. As such, those at the lower end of the income distribution have a relatively low standard of living. New data released by Department for Work and Pensions show that the number of people living in the UK in relative poverty has risen over the past two years. As of 2013, there are 10.6 million people with income below 60% of the inflation-adjusted 2010/11 median (termed "absolute low income" by the DWP), up from 9.7 million in 2012.〔http://labourlist.org/2014/07/number-of-people-living-in-absolute-poverty-rises-to-almost-11-million/〕〔https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/325416/households-below-average-income-1994-1995-2012-2013.pdf〕〔http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hundreds-thousands-more-uk-households-fall-into-income-poverty-1454902〕 In 2014, another report by Institute for Fiscal Studies said that 23.2% of Britons were now in relative poverty, the highest since 2001.〔http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/one-four-britons-now-living-3861508〕 However, Eurostat figures show that the numbers of Britons at risk of poverty has fallen to 15.9% in 2014, down from 17.1% in 2010 and 19% in 2005 (after social transfers were taken into account).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Eurostat ) 〕 It has been found by the Poverty and Social Exclusion project at Bristol University in 2014,〔http://www.poverty.ac.uk/pse-research/going-backwards-1983-2012〕 that the proportion of households lacking three items or activities deemed necessary for life in the UK at that time (as defined by a survey of the wider population) has increased from 14% in 1983 to 33% in 2012.〔http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/jun/19/poverty-hits-twice-as-many-british-households〕〔http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breadline-britain-one-three-now-3721284〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poverty in the United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
