Using the most recent data available, this report provides a comprehensive account of poverty based on the Social Metrics Commission’s measurement framework. It provides a detailed overview of the extent and nature of poverty in the UK today and original analysis that shows how this has changed since the first year where the data for the Commission’s measurement framework is available (2000/01). It also includes detailed factsheets which presents the findings on poverty by age, age group, gender and disability status of individuals. Based on the Commission's approach to measuring poverty, the report shows that there are 14.3 million people in poverty in the UK. This includes 8.3 million working age adults; 4.6 million children; and 1.3 million pension-age adults. Compared to previous reports, it finds that overall rates of poverty have changed relatively little since the millennium, although there have been changes in rates of poverty among different groups. It reports that of those in poverty, just under half (49 per cent) have also been in poverty for at least two of the previous three years; and nearly half (48 per cent) of people in poverty live in a family where someone is disabled.

POPPI (Projecting Older People Population Information)
- Publisher:
- Oxford Brookes University. Institute of Public Care
- Place of publication:
- Oxford
An information system providing access to projections of the numbers, characteristics and care needs of people over 65 in England at national, regional and council level. Population data is available by age band, gender, ethnic group, religion, tenure, transport, living with no central heating, household growth and by state pension for English local authorities. Calculations are also applied to population figures to estimate projected numbers of older people by; those living alone, living in care home, receiving unpaid care, their ability to carry out domestic tasks and self care. Developed by the Institute of Public Care (IPC), the site is intended for use by local authority planners and commissioners of social care provision in England, together with providers and supporting organisation. Registration is required to access the data on the site. Registration is open to all those working in the public care sector.

This report by Access Economics was commissioned by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to estimate the economic impact of partial sight and blindness in the UK adult population. Five leading causes of partial sight and blindness were investigated, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and refractive error. The report comprises the following estimates: prevalence in the UK by age, gender, ethnicity, severity, major region and major cause in 2008, and future projections by decade to 2050; direct health system costs in the UK adult population, disaggregated by cost components for 2008; indirect costs in the UK adult population, disaggregated by cost components for 2008; the burden of disease measured in terms of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in the UK adult population, disaggregated by years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and healthy years of life lost due to disability (YLD), and converted into a reasonable monetary equivalent; projection of health care system costs and indirect costs for 2009 to 2013; a comparison with Australia, US, Canada and Japan; and economic impact of four hypothetical eye care programs, including promotion of the prevention of eye injuries, improved access to integrated low vision and rehabilitation services, increased regular eye tests for those aged 60 years or more, and increased access to eye care services for minority ethnic groups. The results indicate that partial sight and blindness in the adult population places a large economic cost on the UK, totalling £22.0 billion in 2008.
