Show Notes
The UK has abolished its two-child benefit cap, a policy that contributed to a surge in child poverty. The cap, introduced in 2017, limited families to receiving universal credit for their first two children, pushing hundreds of thousands into poverty. The change, effective from April 6th, allows families to receive payments for every child, potentially adding up to £3,000 per year. This move is expected to alleviate financial strain, improve childrens health and education, and boost their future job prospects.
