answer text <p>Under this Government, 300,000 fewer children are in relative income poverty, around 390,000 fewer children are growing up in workless families, the attainment gap for deprived pupils has narrowed, and we have just seen the largest annual fall in unemployment on record.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Estimates of the number and proportion of children in relative low income are published in the National Statistics Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series. This information is captured using the Family Resources Survey (FRS) and has been reported since 1998/99. These estimates are available for each financial year up to 2012/13, the latest period for which estimates are available.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These estimates can be found at the link below:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/households-below-average-income-hbai-199495-to-201213" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/households-below-average-income-hbai-199495-to-201213</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Relevant estimates can be found in the &quot;Supporting Data tables (Microsoft Excel files) WINZIP link.

answer text <p /> <p /> <p>This Government remains committed to ending child poverty by 2020. Our approach, based on our published Evidence Review , is to tackle the root causes of child poverty, both now and in the future, by focussing on worklessness, low pay and raising educational attainment. This approach and the actions we propose to take are set out in full in our draft Child Poverty Strategy 2014-17. We will shortly publish the final version of the Strategy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this
