In this report — Save the Children’s first annual report on the ‘State of Child Poverty’ — we explore the ‘what?’ and the ‘how?’ of child poverty in Northern Ireland. What is life like for children living in poverty? And how does poverty impact on different aspects of their lives, including:

  • family income
  • education
  • health
  • home and neighbourhood
  • play and social development.

This report draws together information from a wide range of statistical sources as well as qualitative research to answer these questions. Together they paint a dreadful picture. They show that poverty impacts on the health, education and life chances of large numbers of children.
