London's Poverty Profile launched

London has the highest rates of poverty and inequality of any region in the country according to new research from the City Parochial Foundation and the New Policy Institute, launched on 19 May 2009.

London's Poverty Profile is the first independent report to bring together such a wide range of indicators measuring poverty, inequality and social exclusion in the capital. The report is being launched at Shoreditch Town Hall with speakers including the Minister for London and Minister of State for Employment & Welfare Reform, Tony McNulty MP, and Anthony Browne, Policy Director for the Mayor of London.

All the research is also available here on this website, which will be updated regularly as soon as new data becomes available.
