Children's charities call for action on under-4s poverty in Wales

CHARITIES called for action yesterday after research revealed that most children living in poverty in Wales live in a family with at least one child under four years old.
The study from Barnardo’s Cymru and the Bevan Foundation found that the birth of a baby often leads to a drop in household income while costs increase.
This, combined with low maternity pay, meagre social security benefits and the rising costs of essentials, can push families with young children into poverty.
