A new study has found that an increased number of Australians classified themselves as poor or reported financial difficulties in the past 12 months, highlighting the impact of rising living costs on people’s lives.
According to the latest Mapping Social Cohesion report published by Scanlon Foundation Research Institute, 37 percent of the Australians surveyed reported having some sort of financial hardship, a noticeable lift compared to 31 percent in 2021.
