A new report from The Institute for Fiscal Studies looks at the impact of the so-called “two-child limit” on child benefits. It shows that despite the average loss in benefit income for the child from the policy was an average of £10,200 over the first five years of the third or subsequent child’s life, there is no no statistically significant impact of the policy on the proportion of children achieving a ‘good level of development’ at age 5.
You can read a summary of the report and download it in full from the IFS website, here.
