Over 20% of children in the UK are living below the poverty line.

Child poverty is on the rise, affecting 2.5 million children in 2022/23.

Certain areas, like Govanhill West in Glasgow and Ayresome in Middlesbrough, have child poverty rates exceeding 80%.

The poverty line is defined as income below 60% of the median household income after housing costs.

Addressing child poverty has become a critical issue that political leaders need to tackle.

Proposed solutions include scrapping the two-child limit and increasing child benefits.
