Benefits for children.

- Abstract
A major new international study discusses and compares the child benefit program of four countries--Australia, Canada, the United States and Great Britain. Benefits for Children: A Four Country Study is a report on the design and delivery of programs providing cash benefits on behalf of children in Australia, Canada, Great Britain and the United States. Income security programs in Great Britain and Australia are operated exclusively by the central government. While the study reviews all cash benefits paid to families for their children, it concentrates especially on these "new" income-tested programs. In Australia, the main program is the Family Tax Benefit Parts A and B. In Canada, it is the Canada Child Tax Benefit. In the case of the U.S., reduction rates are more varied than for any of the other countries, with substantial income ranges of positive rates due to the Earned Income Tax Credit, the child tax credit and, in upper income ranges, the tax system's exemptions and higher tax thresholds for families with children.
