The Government has not estimated the impact of the National Living Wage (NLW) on absolute or relative child poverty in 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts suggest a full-time National Minimum Wage worker will earn over £5,200 more by 2020 from the National Living Wage. 2.75 million low wage workers will benefit directly.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
By 2017-18, 8 out of 10 working households are forecast to be better off as a result of the personal allowance, national living wage and welfare changes announced in the Summer Budget. 17.7 million households will benefit in total.<\/p>
