Exploring: how poverty is defined and measured, what causes poverty in Scotland, trends in the levels of poverty experienced, the impact of poverty on individuals, families and communities and the extent to which key ‘tools’ – such as work, social security, housing, health and education – have been, and could be, used to transform Scotland towards a poverty-free country.
