    Main Results:

    • Universal child benefit provides a foundational support that broader tax allowances may not replicate effectively.
    • Targeting benefits exclusively on poor families presents administrative challenges and potential stigma.
    • The current universal system offers significant advantages in child welfare and poverty prevention.

    Conclusions:

    • Universal child benefit is a valuable policy that requires defense.
    • Transitioning to child tax allowances or highly targeted systems may undermine overall child well-being.
    • Maintaining and defending universal child benefit is recommended for sustained child poverty reduction.
