Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI

2:00 am

Dr. Karina Doorley:

The way we have modelled the second tier of child benefit is purely based on income. Implicitly, that will take into account the urban-rural divide but not explicitly. It is purely based on income and based on the number of children, so not on the age of children, either.
