Not quite the disaster portrayed in the media. I wonder why? (LOL !) Key points - Islington had one of the highest child poverty rates in London (38%). - Islington had one of the highest rates of out of work benefit recipients (12.2%), which may partly be explained by a high proportion of residents with a disability (13%). - A low proportion of residents in Islington were low paid (12%) and as were a low proportion of jobs (11%) compared to the rest of London. - In addition, only a small proportion of private renters were claiming housing benefit (12%). Taken together with the previous bullet points, this suggests that the London-wide story of substantial and growing in-work poverty and poverty in the private rented sector is less applicable to Islington. - Under-attainment at GCSE level among pupils receiving free school meals was the third lowest of London boroughs (45% lacked 5 A*-C GCSEs or equivalent), but the proportion of 19 year olds lacking qualifications was the fifth highest (43% lacked a Level 3 qualification). www.londonspovertyprofile.org.uk/indicators/boroughs/islington/
