Unemployed people receive only half the income they need
Unemployed people without children receive only half the income they need to live a basic life, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF).
The anti-poverty charity also says that those with children receive a third less than needed, forcing more young people into poverty.
The report shows that single people need to earn at least £16,850 a year before tax in 2013 for a minimum acceptable living standard, while couples with two children need to earn at least £19,400 each.
