answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions has not commissioned any such research. The Department’s published Household Below Average Income National Statistics shows that work continues to offer people the best opportunity to get out of poverty and become self-reliant; adults of working age living in working families are 4 times less likely to be in relative poverty than those living in workless households.</p><p>The National Statistics also provide a good understanding of those in in-work poverty and show that the majority (around three-quarters) are those with part-time work only, single earner couples, or those in full-time self-employment. Universal Credit is designed to help by promoting full-time work, employment for partners where possible, and smoother incentives to increase hours. Claimants who are self-employed will have access to mentors to improve their businesses so that they can increase their earnings.</p> more like this
