The number of adults living in poverty has fallen by 5% since 2018, according a new survey by the Welsh Government. 11% of adults were considered “materially deprived” in 2021-2022, down from 16% in 2017-2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings are part of a report into poverty and deprivation as part of The National Survey for Wales 2021-2022 <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first national survey to be conducted since the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material deprivation<\/a> refers to the consequences of long-term poverty on households, rather than short-term financial strain. These include being unable to save more than \u00a310 a month or being unable to holiday away from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey also shows that women are more likely to fall into this category than men, with an average of the 13% of women in comparison to 9% of men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single parents are also particularly affected, with just under half dealing with the impacts of long-term economic hardship. This is the same as it was in 2017-18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People aged 25-44 are the most materially deprived demographic overall, with 15% falling into the category. In contrast, just 4% of pensioners fall into that category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2% of people surveyed said they received food from a food bank in the last year and that 13% receive Universal Credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the report highlights that “care should be taken when making direct comparisons” because of the changes in the way interviews for the survey were collected and the impact of COVID – 19. It calls for further research” to show whether the decline in material deprivation is a real change or as a result of changes in methodology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh Government have been approached for comment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
