Additional child poverty analysis 2026
These spreadsheets contain additional analysis on child poverty.
These spreadsheets are supplementary to the Poverty and Income Inequality in Scotland 2022-25 publication.
A methodological change was implemented to the poverty statistics in the March 2026 publication. The Family Resources Survey is now linked to DWP administrative records on reserved benefits and the development has resulted in revisions to the statistics going back to 2021-22. Full details are available in the workbooks below and the main March 2026 publication.
