Minimum Income Guarantee

Date: 20th October 2025
Category: Child poverty

The Poverty Alliance highlights the Minimum Income Guarantee as possible solution against poverty in Scotland. In the light of the ongoing cost of living crisis, many households struggle with living in a secure, warm home and being able to feed themselves at the same time.
