  • Summary

  • The Child Poverty Reduction Minister attributes stagnant progress to tough economic conditions.

    Annual figures to June show no real change since 2018, despite a cross-party commitment to halve the rate by 2028.

    More than 143,000 children are estimated to be living in material hardship.

    But Minister Louise Upston says a growing economy will start to help.

    "For some families, the cost of living is still affecting them. The OCR drop yesterday - it takes a while for that to flow through and for families to really feel it."
