Gaps in the analysis of income poverty for different ethnic groups caused by small survey samples reduces our understanding of poverty and solutions to it. We Children in poverty: Measurement and targets 55 therefore welcome DWP’s recent decision to increase the sample size of its Family Resources Survey which will strengthen the analysis of poverty for different groups.
Government Response Summary
The government confirms the full Family Resources Survey (FRS) boost begins in April 2022 but states that the precise subgroups covered will depend on data analysis, response rates, and final sample sizes, making it impossible to provide a list by June 2022.

The full FRS boost starts in April 2022. Precisely which subgroups can be covered post- boost will depend on analysis on the data collected, the response rate and final sample sizes we achieve. It is therefore not possible to provide a list of subgroups by June 2022.
