Understanding the relationship between inequalities and poverty: policy toolkit

Irene Bucelli, Abigail McKnight and Kate Summers

Published 4 February 2020

This toolkit examines policies with a potential 'double dividend': policies that could lead to reductions in both poverty and inequality in the UK. The selection of policies has been informed by a larger research programme which has explored the relationship between inequalities and poverty. This research not only identified a positive empirical relationship between poverty and inequality it also reviewed evidence on potential mechanisms that might drive this relationship.
