The two-child benefit cap has greatly contributed to rising child poverty since 2010, revealing the urgent need for its removal in the upcoming budget.
With a cost of just 2.5bn, abolishing the two-child limit would have an immediate and profound impact on reducing child poverty and gaining voter approval.
Ben Zaranko highlights that while 2.5bn is a small part of the total budget, it could resolve significant issues like legal aid or support for social care.
In the context of government priorities, direct transfers of money to the poorest children could yield the greatest long-term societal benefits.
