A study by Loughborough University for the End Child Poverty Coalition reveals a strong link between the two-child limit and child poverty rates in London. Constituencies like Bethnal Green and Stepney are severely impacted, with a poverty rate of 50.4% and 22.1% of children affected by the policy. In contrast, more affluent areas, like Richmond Park, have significantly lower poverty rates and less impact from the limit. The coalition is advocating for the abolition of this limit in the government's child poverty strategy due to its detrimental effects on vulnerable children.
The research indicates a clear correlation between the implementation of the two-child limit and high rates of child poverty within London's parliamentary constituencies.
Bethnal Green and Stepney, with the highest child poverty rate, also bears a significant proportion of children impacted by the two-child limit policy.
