Att leva i allvarlig materiell och social fattigdom är att svara nej på minst sju av nedanstående punkter. Vardagen är rätt kämpig då. Att antalet personer som har det så här har tredubblats på bara några år är, eller borde vara, en megagrej

13 frågor som används för att mäta materiell nivå. Ex är att ha råd med en veckas semester, tillgång till bil, att delta i en fritidsaktivitet och att fika på stan minst en gång i månaden, kunna betala räkningar i tid och hålla bostaden tillräckligt varm.
