The Rural Development Sub-Committee of the National Assembly for Wales has published a report on its inquiry into poverty and deprivation in rural Wales.

The Sub-Committee’s work focused on poverty and deprivation issues for the following groups:

• Children and young people
• The economically active
• The economically inactive
• Older people.
