That's a reminder that I haven't redeemed my £10 voucher for doing the yearly ONS survey that's used to gather this data.
(Takes about 90 minutes in total so for £6.66/hr I'm not in it for the money.)
Lots of those outcomes you list are stark reminders of how much of a bubble many people live in (myself included).

This is the inverse of the "why should i work when it will lose me my benefits".
Here's some numbers about London poverty:
30 % of families are unable to meet an unexpected but necessary bill of £800
50% of families have zero savings
17% of london families with children live in material deprivation

You need to work 17.4 / 32.5 hours (at London living wage) to pay for 25 / 50 hours nursery
20% of London's jobs pay below the LLW
45% of london's PT employees are paid below the LLW
12 % of London's FT employees are paid below the LLW
