The plans that targeted reducing the amount of poverty have stopped being a subject of discussion in Scotland. The Child Poverty Bill will be proposed next year and is aiming at reducing the rate of poverty by 10% till 2030, and then as a whole 5%.
The poverty rates right now are 22%. 116 replies have been published to its negotiations; it will also protect
families. According to BBC News, Equalities Secretary Angela Constance finds it hard to believe that the poverty rate is still increasing in Scotland.
But the pleasant thing is that new methods are coming up and challenging the ever-increasing rates of poverty. The problem is quite deep-rooted but not at all impossible to solve especially through collective efforts of tackling the situation. All these proposals were published in annual child poverty report published in 2014. 220,000 people were poor when the house rents were decreased.
However, the stats have remained the same over the past three years. The number declined by 30,000 once the house rents were taken into consideration and were reduced. Relative poverty means people living in houses and having less than 60% of the income of current UK household incomes.
Absolute poverty is people living in houses with less income than 60% of UK household in 2010/11. The rate of both of these poverty branches has fallen. Relative poverty is now 31% ad Absolute poverty is 41%, which is very much less as compared to previous years as WB News stated.
Children are abandoned from the resources they need for proper and decent growth. The rate of uneducated people and unemployment has also taken a fall. In recent reports, poverty figures have gone down a big deal.
Scotland needs to note these points down to get fully rid of poverty, to proceed as a nation and to be more successful; they need to eliminate this flaw so that they don't have any other major difficulty to deal with.
