A thinktank urges the Department for Work and Pensions to abolish the two-child benefit cap, stating it's the only way to significantly reduce child poverty. Abolishing the cap could lift 330,000 children out of poverty immediately and prevent another 150,000 by 2030, according to Resolution Foundation analysis. The thinktank warns that child poverty is projected to rise significantly without this change, despite government investments in family support and free school meals.
