Summary
This series of reports seeks to provide insight into whether very deep poverty is a transient or more enduring experience, and if this differs between different groups of people. In particular, it investigates: 1) Which groups of people are most likely to enter and exit very deep poverty?; 2) What are the events that make entry to or exit from poverty more likely?; 3) Which groups of people are most likely to experience persistent very deep poverty?; 4) What types of support can protect people from the worst consequences of living in very deep poverty? This paper uses data from Understanding Society (University of Essex, 2022) to explore in more detail the economic experiences of people who move into and out of very deep poverty each year, and of those who remain in very deep poverty for a prolonged period of time. The focus for this analysis is working-age families only, given the different economic situation of pension-age families.
