"This paper discusses how the rates of income poverty differ between different ethnic groups and provides an analysis for the reasons for some of these differences. The measure of poverty used is the one that has been standard in Great Britain since at least the late 1990s; that is, a relative income measure adjusted for household size. Above all else, this is the measure that has been used to assess the progress on child poverty on the way to its hoped-for abolition by 2020."
