📝 A new report by Dr Kitty Stewart, Professor Ruth Patrick and Professor @aaronreeves.bsky.social shows why tackling child poverty requires removing the controversial two-child limit and benefit cap.

Read the full report ➡️ buff.ly/bFN4kga

New research | Why the two-child limit and benefit cap must be scrapped New analysis shows why the two-child limit and benefit cap must be scrapped to tackle child poverty.

Over 70% of families in poverty now have at least one adult in work, compared to 49% in 2000/01. Policies like the two-child limit have made it harder for families to escape poverty through work and wages are often not enough to compensate.
