The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) in Scotland believes almost 100,000 Scots children who were saved from poverty between 1998/9 and 2009/10 could soon be facing it again under controversial changes to the benefits system.
The claims follow a report from the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) that forecasts relative child poverty throughout the UK will rise by 800,000 by 2020. This would take the total number of impoverished children in the UK to 3.3 million -- almost one in four youngsters.
