This briefing was produced in partnership with Scottish Women’s Budget Group. The analysis is taken from our collaborative research report ‘I am just keeping my head above water’: Young women’s experiences of the cost-of-living crisis.

Ahead of the Scottish Government debate on Challenge Poverty Week, this briefing highlights the engagement and research we have been undertaking with young women and girls, demonstrating how young women are struggling – financially, emotionally, and physically – during the cost-of-living crisis in Scotland.
