Since 2008, research on the Minimum Income Standard (MIS) has identified what
different household types need for a minimum acceptable living standard,
based on what goods and services members of the public say are needed.
This study projects the disposable incomes of households on out-of-work benefits
and minimum wages, comparing them with MIS between 2010 and 2020.
