NEW ANALYSIS: Today the Government announced its new Child Poverty Strategy. But what might it mean for the outlook for child poverty in this Parliament, and how does it compare to progress on reducing child poverty in recent decades?

New RF analysis answers these questions....

The Government’s Child Poverty Strategy published today is the first we’ve seen for 11 years – which in itself is a sea change. 🧵 👇

'I don't think welfare spending is out of control. I think there is almost a moral panic about the level of welfare spending. If we look at the working-age benefit bill, it hasn't changed much over decades, if you look it as a fraction of national income.' @pjtheeconomist.bsky.social #c4news
