The Battle for Child Allowance

webinar (in Dutch) on 3 May 2021

Does it make sense to use child allowance as an instrument in the battle against poverty? Or should child allowance be equal for all families? In Flanders the debate on the reform of the child allowance system is currently high on the agenda. Researcher Wim Van Lancker (KU Leuven), Yves Coemans (Gezinsbond) and Henk Van Hooteghem (Interfederaal Steunpunt Armoedebestrijding) share their views on the topic.
