This project involves analysing in detail how much financial support for families with children is provided through the benefit and tax credit system in Northern Ireland, how this has changed over time, and how it differs from other countries in the UK (and regions of England) because of differences in the characteristics of households with children in the different areas.
A parallel project conducted by the Economic Research Institute of Northern Ireland is addressing similar questions for support for children provided through public services.
