<p><p><p><p>PBR 2008 said that "the Government will take stock of progress towards its 2010 and 2020 child poverty target in the [2009] Budget". As background to that, new IFS research, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, updates previous analysis of the prospects for child poverty in the UK in 2010-11 and 2020-21. Compared with that previous work, the new research uses new data on the distribution of income amongst families with children, incorporates all the policy announcements since 2006/7 that will affect relative child poverty, and fully reflects the considerable uncertainty over the economic prospects for 2010/11. The analysis will show the likely prospects for child poverty in 2010/11 and 2020/21, and will show how child poverty could be affected by a number of changes to personal taxes, benefits and tax credits.</p><p>You can download the presentation slides from this briefing <a href="http://www.ifs.org.uk/conferences/cp2010_slides.ppt">here</a>.</p></p></p>
