'Early intervention, which reduces the number of children in poverty who become adults in poverty, could reduce future economic and social costs significantly'
About one in five children in Northern Ireland are living in relative poverty before housing costs, a new Audit Office report has found.
It said children who grow up in poverty are more likely to experience health inequalities, have lower levels of educational attainment and are more likely to experience poverty as adults. “The relationship between health and income levels is also well established. Research has shown that childhood poverty is linked to higher levels of infant mortality and death in early adulthood, as well as poorer mental health, obesity and chronic illness.”
The report highlighted gaps in Stormont departments’ understanding of accountability arrangements and a lack of joined-up working between them in the delivery of the strategy.
