	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p>The Government does not produce forecasts of the number of children living in income poverty either locally or nationally. The number of children in poverty is dependent on a number of factors which cannot be reliably predicted, including the median income.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not believe it is possible to accurately project child poverty to 2020. Poverty projections are rarely accurate. For example, IFS projections in October 2011 suggested the number of children in relative poverty would fall by 100,000 in 2010/11, whereas in fact it fell by 300,000.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 16/06/2014 16:37:54 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Government has not made an assessment of the effect of welfare reforms on levels on child poverty. Given the large number of reforms and variables involved, the impact of welfare changes cannot be seen in isolation.</p><p>However, the guiding principles of all of this Government's welfare reforms are to get more people into work by making work pay.</p><p>A key component of the Welfare Reform is Universal Credit. Universal Credit is expected to improve work incentives by allowing individuals to keep more of their income as they move into work, and by introducing a smoother and more transparent reduction of benefits when they increase their earnings.</p><p>We estimate this new reform will lift around 300,000 children out of poverty.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 16/06/2014 16:42:05 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
