The Government's latest figures on the distribution of income in Britain will be released by the Department for Work and Pensions on Wednesday 30th March. The IFS will be releasing a detailed analysis of the latest figures and recent trends on the same day.
This research will assess:
- How average incomes in Britain have continued to change;
- What has been happening to the gap between rich and poor;
- How Labour's record measures up to that of previous governments;
- How close the Government is to meeting its child poverty targets;
- The latest trends in pensioner poverty;
- What has happened to poverty amongst groups less favoured by Government tax and benefit policies.
This report will be launched on Wednesday 30th March 2005, at the IFS offices in Ridgmount Street, London. The briefing will start at 12pm and is expected to conclude by 1.30pm.
Places at this briefing are free of charge and will be served on a first-come first-served basis. If you would like to attend, please contact Bonnie Brimstone, Conference Organiser.More from IFS
