Abstract

Thirty per cent of children in the UK live in poverty. Nicholas Barr argues that abolishing the Two-Child Benefit limit and overall Benefit Cap is good policy not just for ethical reasons but – less widely realised – because investment in children has a very high payoff and should therefore be a part of the Government’s growth agenda.
