Is targeting women a useful way to tackle child poverty?
The Government has said that it wants to eradicate child poverty by 2020, and today the Fawcett Society suggests, in a new report called “Keeping Mum”, that the problem can only be truly tackled by recognising the link between mothers’ and childrens’ poverty. They say that mothers are at greater risk of poverty in the UK than in any other western European country.Jane is joined by Katherine Rake, Director of the Fawcett Society, andLisa Harker, Co-Director of the Institute for Public Policy Research, to discuss the new report and the issues it raises.
