Children are more likely than working-age adults to live in Britain’s private rented sector, as young families who may find themselves priced out of homeownership rent for longer, according to a think-tank.
The number of children living in the private rented sector (PRS) has nearly tripled over the last quarter of a century, from 1.1 million children in 2000-01 to 3.2 million in 2024-25, the Resolution Foundation said.
