Child Poverty In Large Families

This 64–page study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation investigates the prevalence and characteristics of poor children in large families (three/four or more children) in the UK and how we compare with other countries. Large families still constitute a third of all children and have a much higher risk of poverty than those in smaller families. The study also discusses how the benefit system might be adapted in favour of large families.
