Introducing Real-time Analysis of Poverty Indicators Dashboard (RAPID)

Thursday, October 10, 2024

Understanding poverty now is important for policy. And when it comes to households’ living standards, no aggregate, reliable, real-time data is available. Until now.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has worked with Policy in Practice to develop a new tool to track aggregate poverty rates using real time data. Many of the tools we use to measure poverty rely on survey data or time-lagged data from previous reporting periods. But the challenges we face are based on poverty now, not last year. RAPID addresses this gap by using benefits administrative data to create up to date, regional measures of poverty rates and living standards.

You're invited to join us for the launch of RAPID, Real-time Analysis of Poverty Indicators Dashboard, a groundbreaking project designed to improve our understanding of poverty through real-time data analysis.
