[4] Projects adopting the MIS method are currently being undertaken in the Republic of Ireland,[5] France,[6] Japan,[7] Portugal and Austria.
Up to 2015, CRSP calculated the out-of-London rate, based on the wage that households needed in order to have a minimum acceptable standard of living.
As a consequence, families both in low-paid jobs and out of work are falling further short of affording a minimum living standard.
This research, funded by Thomas Pocklington Trust, begins to fill the gap in knowledge about the true financial cost of disability for households.
This project, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, augments work on Households Below Minimum Income Standard and the Cost of a Child analysis.
The research furthers understanding about the financial challenges that families living below MIS face, drawing on in-depth interviews held in urban and rural locations in the south west, midlands and north west of England with parents in households whose income is between 50 and 90 percent of MIS.
[15] As part of a consortium, CRSP evaluated the Local Housing Allowance Pathfinders for the Department for Work and Pensions.
In 1990, following the appointment of Professor Robert Walker as Director, CRSP expanded its research interests and its funding base.
In 2012, following a change in the funding environment and the development of MIS, the Centre reoriented itself to become smaller and more focused on income and living standards.
