 Nearly 1 in 3 children in England live in poverty. Given that England’s economy is one of the biggest in the world, the figures are astounding. |  While great progress has been made as a result of the peace process, the legacies of conflict – deep social divisions and poverty – remain. |  One in five children in Scotland live in poverty. Children living in severe poverty simply don’t have enough money to pay for essential items. |
