I haven't drilled down to see what they mean by "disadvantaged" but, apparently, around 28% of UK children live in poverty once housing costs are taken into account, which would mean that many of them do possess a mobile phone. Poverty appears to be a relative concept here as we are in a developed country.<br /><br />The two most used definitions for child poverty in the UK are, firstly, where children "live in families which lack the resources to enable their children to participate in the activities and have the living conditions and amenities which are customary, or at least widely encouraged or approved. They are effectively excluded from ordinary living patterns, customs and activities." Secondly, children are in poverty where they live in households where net income is less than 60% of the national median.<br /><br />I agree that you see lots of books and advertising in London but London contains real extremes of wealth and deprivation.Falaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296217731383114462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069628911357973492.post-42893824115002095442010-11-18T16:21:05.023+00:002010-11-18T16:21:05.023+00:00Shocking data!

One of the reason why I love London is that I always see so many people reading in the metro and that books have their own billboards, just like toothpaste and computers. But I guess London is not UK? <br /><br />But surely children who have a mobile phone are not from the most disadvantaged of the population? Or maybe disadvantaged also refers to more than just money, like parents/teachers/schools who don't encourage reading.Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.com
