    Brief

    This is a qualitative longitudinal research study examining the experiences and circumstances of parents and carers whose children are living in or near poverty. The study focuses on families measured against two key poverty metrics: Relative Low Income After Housing Costs and Deep Material Poverty. The research aims to understand the challenges, coping strategies, and lived experiences of these families over time. Suppliers are sought to conduct interviews, manage participant engagement, analyze qualitative data, and produce research reports that inform child poverty reduction policies and strategies.
