Government has made good progress in tackling the root causes of child poverty and
has recently published the 2014-17 draft child poverty strategy for consultation which
outlines the actions we are taking. The latest figures from 2011-12 show that 2.3
million children (17%) are in relative income poverty-down 300,000 since 2009-10.
These are the lowest levels since the mid-1980s. The number of children in workless
households has fallen by more than 270,000 since 2010, which is key to driving down
poverty.</p>
