A Minimum Income Standard for London 2022

This latest research looking at what is needed for a decent living standard in London focuses on working-age adults without children, and pensioners. Groups of working-age adults and pensioners in Inner and Outer London discussed and agreed what these households need in order to have a minimum socially acceptable standard of living in 2022.   This research calculated the difference in a minimum household budget between the capital and elsewhere in the UK, and looked at the implications of this difference for the adequacy of social security and wages. Finally, the findings of the research were used to look at the number of households without the income needed to meet this minimum standard in the capital and how this has changed over time.
