One in three children in the UK live in poverty. A recent report published by British NGO Campaign to End Child Poverty says this amounts to 3.9 million children. The UK has one of the highest poverty rates in the industrialized world. The same NGO claims a boy living in Manchester can expect to live seven years less than a boy in Barnet. Poverty in the UK is any household that lives on £10 per person per day.
