    Majority of British children will soon be growing up in families struggling 'below the breadline', Government warned

    The majority of British children will soon be growing up in families which are struggling "below the breadline"

    because of welfare cuts, tax rises and wage freezes, the Government is warned today.

    Within two years, almost 7.1m of the nation's 13m youngsters will be in homes with incomes judged

    to be less than the minimum necessary for a decent standard of living, according to a new report.

    The figures, which emerged a week ahead of George Osborne's Budget, suggest that an unwanted

    legacy of the Coalition's squeeze on spending will be to leave more children living close to poverty.
