More than one in four children with care worker parents are growing up in poverty, according to new TUC analysis, as trade unions mount a mass rally calling for an immediate general election.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady warned that figures were heading upwards, with the 220,000 children of care workers in poverty set to rise to 300,000 by the end of this parliament if dissolution is delayed to the last possible date in 2024.
