Ending child poverty in Australia - Discussion paper
The Australia Institute
28 Jun 2024 | Discussion paper | Economics, Social issues
Although one in six Australian children live in poverty, the Australian Government does not officially define or measure poverty. With the increases to income support payments made during the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government has proven it can lift children out of poverty. The authors of this paper argue that permanently increasing these payments would lift tens of thousands of children out of poverty.
