Abstract

While Labour has avoided pledging to end the “two-child limit” on means-tested benefits, which has been shown to worsen child poverty, it has committed to a broader child poverty strategy. Kitty Stewart and Ruth Patrick consider the significance of this manifesto commitment and explain why abolishing the two-child limit is crucial, but only the start of what is required.
