Glasgow councillors are being encouraged to endorse a five-point action plan created by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) to help tackle poverty.
The charity has set out a list of proposals it hopes will inspire debate across the four nations of the UK while bringing together the skills and resources of national and local governments, businesses, service providers and citizens to solve poverty within a generation., an estimated two-thirds of children in poverty live in working households, 10% of all employees are stuck in low-paying jobs and 72% of that group are women.
The motion reads: “Council notes Joseph Rowntree Foundation condemnation of the Scottish Government for not doing enough to reduce poverty, saying statutory child poverty reduction targets are unlikely to be met without significant additional Scottish Government action. Speaking ahead of Thursday’s debate, councillor Jassemi said: “We have a duty to drive down Glasgow’s scandalous rate of child poverty, but the SNP in Holyrood have been quietly abandoning key anti-poverty pledges against the advice of anti-poverty campaigners.
