To mark the start of London Challenge Poverty Week 2021 and against the backdrop of the biggest cut to benefits since the welfare state’s creation, 4in10 and the Greater London Authority published new participant-led research, commissioned from ClearView Research, looking at Londoners’ attitudes and perceptions about poverty in their city.
Key findings of the research included:
The representative polling is accompanied by qualitative research which provides a detailed picture of what it is like to live in financial hardship in London today. Participants describe how they feel their lives are defined by a constant sense of instability and concern about money which leaves them feeling anxious, frustrated, isolated and often lonely. Londoners spoke often of their aspirations and ambitions that they managed to keep alive despite the barriers put in their way by the inadequate welfare system and rising cost of living; one participant described navigating these pressures as feeling as if they are “flying against gravity” – the title of this research.
