Scots want poverty and inequality to be tackled, survey finds

TACKLING poverty and inequality is a top concern for Scots, a new survey suggests.

Just over a third of people described dealing with the problem of poverty and inequality as the top issue of concern facing Scotland right now — compared to 26 per cent who cited the economy.

The first ever Understanding Scotland survey found that among those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods, 38 per cent were concerned about poverty and inequality, with less than a fifth worried about the economy.
