Preventing child poverty improves long-term integration for British Muslims.

Evidence

Given that over half of Bangladeshi and Pakistani children live in poverty, and given that the rates of poverty among Muslims generally are much higher than the average, tackling poverty would greatly improve British Muslims’ opportunities and outcomes. Preventing poverty is especially important for children not just morally but also because it is a good preventive strategy for reducing inequalities in later life and for improving integration. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 60
