This is a follow-up to an earlier study of Britain’s poorest children (Adelman
et al., 2003), carried out by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP)
on behalf of Save the Children UK (SCUK). The earlier analysis had used
two data sets: the Poverty and Social Exclusion Survey (PSE) of 1999; and
the first nine waves of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) covering
the period 1991-1999. The policy impact of the earlier analysis has been
widespread, and the need for continued work on Britain’s poorest children is
apparent. Three further waves of the BHPS (2000-2002) have since become
available, making it possible to update the earlier analysis of the BHPS using
more recent data sets. Hence, this study uses the nine most recent waves of
the BHPS available (1994-2002) to update the earlier work on Britain’s
poorest children, focusing on key issues of particular policy significance.
