§ Malcolm WicksPoverty and social exclusion are complex multi-dimensional issues, affecting many aspects of people's lives—including their living standards, health, housing, the quality of the environment and not just low income.

Specific information regarding low income is available in "Households Below Average Income 1994–95 to 1999–2000".
