abstract: 'The new Labour government in Britain has made the reduction of child
|
|
|
|
poverty one of its central objectives. This article analyses the
|
|
|
|
circumstances of children in poverty and describes the specific
|
|
|
|
initiatives involved in Labour''s approach and weighs them up in terms of
|
|
|
|
their potential impact. The impact on child poverty of policies designed
|
|
|
|
to raise incomes directly is analysed using micro-simulation modelling,
|
|
|
|
A major emphasis of current policy is on the promotion of paid work, and
|
|
|
|
we explore the potential for poverty reduction of increasing the
|
|
|
|
employment of parents. The policies that address long-term disadvantage
|
|
|
|
are also discussed and finally the whole programme is assessed and
|
|
|
|
future strategy is considered.'
