๐ Amazing work using #ECHILD data by @TheIFS! Despite significant income losses from the two-child limit, no measurable impact on children's school readiness at age 5. Important for policy and child development. ๐ https://t.co/Pql4wuOoHJ

Despite significantly reducing the benefit entitlements of larger families, the two-child limit had no effect on childrenโs school readiness
Reversing the two-child limit is the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty, but our report suggests it wouldnโt help the government 'kill two birds with one stone' and boost school readiness simultaneously. ๐ Read our report here: https://t.co/eHk3w8mfFp
