The child poverty rate in America has radically dropped over the past quarter-century.
A newly published report found the child poverty rate in America has radically dropped over the past quarter-century, with expanded pandemic-era government benefits among the strongest contributing factors. While the rate was reflected as hovering around 9.7 percent in 2020, the Census Bureau found that it was 5.2 percent in 2021.
The agency’s analysis on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage,, takes into account the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which since 2009 has taken into account expenses and aid. Poverty experts attributed the 2021 plummet largely to the government’s one-year enhancement of the enhanced child tax credit, which pulled more than 5 million people out of poverty. The credit was only in effect for 2021, according to CNN.
