New figures show that millions of children in the UK are living in, or on the brink of, poverty.
The figures, released by the Campaign to End Child Poverty, are made up from child tax credit and working tax credit data and have been calculated by Inclusion .
It is the first time the number of children in struggling families has been calculated.
Birmingham Ladywood is top of the table with 81 per cent - or 28,420 - of its children in struggling families and 87% of the children in Aston, one ward in Ladywood, are struggling to get by.
But this is still not the most concentrated area of child poverty. An estimated 98% of children living in two zones in Glasgow Baillieston – Central Easterhouse and North Barlarnark and Easterhouse South – are either in poverty or in working families that are struggling to get by.
The Campaign to End Child Poverty has published these Government figures to show how many children in each area are in families with wage earners who only just afford to make ends meet.
Bradford West has more children being looked after in working families who have to rely on working tax credit at 44 per cent - or 14,630 - than in families relying on out of work benefits.
