Child poverty 'gradually rising' before pandemic

Child poverty was "gradually rising" in Scotland before the Covid pandemic, according to new statistics.

However, the statistics suggest that after a long fall between the late nineties and the 2010s - from 32% in 1994-97 to 21% in 2010-13 - child poverty rates have been gradually rising again. Yet this is only a glimpse of what Scotland was facing before Covid. The stats don't capture the impact of the pandemic, where those in lower-paid jobs and deprived communities were hit hardest.

The state of a king (or queen) shuts them from the world, yet the business of a king requires him (or her) to know it thoroughly; wherefore the different parts, by unnaturally opposing and destroying each other, prove the whole character to be absurd and useless. - Common Sense
