Our latest calculations for @CPAGUK on the cost of bringing up a child in 2024 shows that parents living on low incomes are increasingly unable to provide their families with a decent standard of living, even if they are in full-time work. @CRSP_LboroUni

Our new cost of a child calculations show that, for the first time since the research started in 2008, all family types on low and modest incomes are unable to meet their costs or reach what the public deems a minimum acceptable living standard.

This week we learned that inflation held steady at 2 per cent in June. Although *the rate* of inflation may now be at target, *prices* are still high. In three years prices have risen by 20%, so higher prices will be with us for the foreseeable.
