This work assesses the possibilities and limitations of reducing
poverty among families with children by increasing the work effort
of the adults in those families. Following a historical review of
family poverty since 1995, the authors present several policy
simulations, including increased employment, a higher minimum wage,
more generous tax credits, a child allowance, and reduced childcare
or medical expenses. Specific policy proposals-including the
proposals of the Biden Administration-are assessed using four
criteria: reducing child poverty; equitable treatment of the
poorest groups; promotion of self-sufficiency; and
cost-effectiveness. The authors conclude that while no single
policy is able to reduce family poverty by half while meeting the
other criteria, several combinations of policies have the potential
to do so.
