Related report: Parents' Work Entry, Progression and Retention and Child Poverty
Recent policy has focused on facilitating employment for parents as a means of lifting families with children out of poverty. New research published today by the Department for Work and Pensions and written by IFS researchers James Browne and Gillian Paull shows that a parent moving into work allows a large proportion of poor families (65 percent) initially to escape poverty. But a substantial fraction of families with children remain in poverty or fall into poverty during the three years following work entry, suggesting considerable scope for improvements in work progression and training to help lift and keep these families with working parents out of poverty.
