Children's lives in the UK are changing. They are becoming shorter in height. More of them are going hungry than they were a few years ago. Recently, more have died each year than they did a few years ago. Increased poverty, more destitution and the effects of ongoing austerity are the clear culprits.
But why did this happen to our children? This rise in child poverty is a change that has not been found to have occurred to the same extent anywhere else in the world, among all the places that the United Nations measures in the same way.
The first thing to note is just how incredibly well-off the children are who are better-off than our seven typical children. Some 6% of all children in the UK live in households richer than the best-off typical child. Those 6% of children, the best-off children of all, live in families that each year receive and spend a third of all the income in the UK. These 6% are not typical, and neither are the 6% poorest: those most destitute, those whose families are most likely to use food banks.
If you pick seven typical children, equally spaced out across the income scale, then these extremes are not part of what you see. But four of our typical seven children now live lives that most better-off people would consider to be in poverty. The other three are hardly well-off. The least well-off are in families struggling to pay bills and making sacrifices others do not have to think about. For instance, whether to save £10 a month, or have insurance against the effects of flood, fire or theft. Increasingly often they cannot afford both. But even the most well-off of our seven children lives in a family that worries about paying for an annual holiday. That is rare among the most affluent two million families, but possible.
The UK in 2024 demonstrates to the world what living with high inequality means in a once affluent country. It means a few using up far more resources than the vast majority of other children, such as having access to many more school teachers - per child - as compared to the rest, better food, better shelter, more warmth, more toys, better material everything; often more than you might think any child needed. In future, almost all our children will tell their stories of growing up in the UK of the 2020s and - hopefully - what changed to make things better. It is hard to imagine them becoming much worse.
