(As always, the libellous and frankly spamming will be blocked, but any other comments will be posted.)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Government\u2019s plan to repeal the 2010 Child Poverty Act, which committed them to eradicating child poverty in the UK by 2020, and dispense with the current definition of child poverty is highly concerning. This was in the context for a recent report which stated levels of child poverty in the UK were \u201cunacceptably high\u201d and expected to rise (CCs, 2015).<\/p>\n<p>Ian Duncan Smith has indicated that the standard definition of relative child poverty (a household income below 60% of contemporary median) will be replaced with measures of \u2018worklessness\u2019, family breakdown, addiction, debt and educational attainment. Details of how this \u2018new\u2019 definition of child poverty will be formulated, and what the targets are, have not been outlined. This is concerning because an unvalidated and unclear measure of child poverty may be open to political manipulation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>No single measure of child poverty can capture the full picture. One reason the government have cited for ditching the relative income measure of child poverty is that in the context of the 2008\/2009 economic recession child poverty appeared to fall. However, this was because the overall UK median income fell. The absolute poverty measure, which is adjusted for inflation, indicates poverty has risen, both before and after housing costs are accounted for (McGuinness, 2015).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Relative income measures of poverty are an international standard used by the European Union, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development, UNICEF and most income-rich countries. The measure is highly correlated with child health (figure 1). Children who grow up in poverty are more likely to have been born prematurely, die within the first year of life, develop obesity, have behavioural problems and perform less well at school (Griggs and Walker, 2008); these adverse risks also extend into adulthood (Raphael, 2011), increasing the risk of poor health and social outcomes across the life course.<\/p>\n<p>But now more than ever a poverty measure based on income is important. The Institute for Fiscal studies have predicted a decade of rising child poverty, unprecedented since records began in the 1960s (Social Mobility &amp; Child Poverty Commission, 2014). The cuts to be announced in the Chancellor\u2019s emergency budget, due to be published on July 8th, outlining a further \u00a312 billion in cuts to working-age benefits are likely to make the situation worse.<\/p>\n<p>The current policy response to the shameful levels of child poverty in the UK appears to be to obfuscate the measure. We suggest that paediatricians should be \u201cup in arms\u201d about the proposed changed. Considering that around 1 in 3 of our patients are already living in poverty (McGuinness, 2015) we must demand real action and certainly not permit any attempt to hide the true scale of the problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/adc\/files\/2015\/07\/one.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1131 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/adc\/files\/2015\/07\/one.png\" alt=\"one\" width=\"855\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/adc\/files\/2015\/07\/one.png 855w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/adc\/files\/2015\/07\/one-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Figure 1.
