As many as four in five children are living in poverty in parts of Greater Manchester. New Government figures have revealed that there were 183,105 children in Greater Manchester living below the breadline in March 2019, even before the cost of housing was taken into account.
The number has been rising year on year, and is up from 143,857 in 2015. The increase has been driven in particular by a sharp rise in the number of children living in poverty despite one or more of their parents working.
