Child poverty in Britain is already a problem
— and Brexit will likely make it worse
"For almost one in every two children to be poor in 21st century Britain is not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster."
The U.K. boasts the world's fifth-largest economy, but almost one in three of the country's children are growing up in poverty, according to the independent Social Metrics Commission.
And things are getting worse. The Institute for Fiscal Studies believes that child poverty could reach almost 37 percent by 2022.
