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 in the DWP\u2019s Households Below Average Income (HBAI) publication. These estimates are available for each financial year up to 2012/13, the latest period for which estimates are available.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Comparable estimates are available for each of the constituent countries of the UK and for English regions. The survey sample sizes for these regions are not sufficiently large to support robust single-year figures, so estimates are provided using three-year averages. The latest estimates are for 2010/11-2012/13.<\/p>
