Overseas Network, June 28thAccording to a Reuters report on June 28, a British charity “Food Bank” released a report stating that by 2022, one in seven people in the UK will face hunger due to poverty.
According to the report, 11.3 million people in the UK will face hunger in 2022, more than twice the population of Scotland. According to the report, the main reason for this phenomenon is the failure of the British social security system and the rising cost of living.
The UK is the sixth largest economy in the world, but over the past year or so, high inflation has put tremendous pressure on the British people, and wage growth for almost all workers has lagged far behind the inflation level. In May this year, food inflation in the UK was as high as 18.3%, and it was still 14.6% in June.
According to reports, soaring food prices have caused British households to experience the most serious decline in living standards since the 1950s, putting more pressure on household budgets. (Liu Tianyun, an intern of Liu Qiang from Overseas Network)
