Dave Innes, Head of Economics at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, joins Emma Congreve to discuss the impact that the shutdown of many parts of the economy will have on poverty across the UK. They discuss what we know so far about the impact on low income households, what support needs to be in place to protect those who are the most financially vulnerable as the crisis evolves, and how policy may change in future as we come out the other side.
