This report looks at the changes in the adequacy of incomes, as measured by individuals’ ability to reach the Minimum Income Standard (MIS), a measure rooted in what the public considers necessary for a minimum acceptable standard of living. This is the fifth in an annual series of reports monitoring the total number of individuals in the UK living below the MIS threshold.
