Top 1% of households in UK fully recovered from financial crisis

Rest of British population, especially young and those renting homes, still struggling, says Resolution Foundation

The contrasting fortunes of rich and poor in the decade since the start of the financial crisis are starkly illustrated by a new report showing the young and those renting homes struggling while the top 1% have now recouped all the ground they lost during the world's worst post-second world war slump.

New research from the Resolution Foundation showed that households with incomes of 275,000 or more quickly recovered from the impact of the deep recession and have seen their share of national income return to the level seen before the global banking system froze up in the summer of 2007.
