This report looks at changes in the adequacy of incomes, as measured by
individuals’ ability to reach the Minimum Income Standard (MIS), a measure
rooted in that members of the public consider is needed for a minimum
socially acceptable standard of living. This is the eighth in a series of reports
monitoring the total number of individuals in the UK living below the MIS
threshold, and looks in detail at the family and household characteristics of
those below this threshold.
