The Government would need to spend £4.2 billion extra on tax credits for low-income families to be on track to hit its short-term child poverty target for 2010-11, according to research funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and carried out at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Institute for Social and Economic Research at Essex University.
