The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has commissioned a series of short reports focusing on certain key policy areas relevant to the 2020 target of eradicating UK child poverty.

Each report presents an overview of the importance of the area, progress over the last few years, the extent of its likely contribution to the overall goal and effective alternatives where necessary.

The reports cover the following areas:

• Can work eradicate child poverty?
• Tackling child poverty when parents cannot work
• Addressing in-work poverty
• Childcare and child poverty
• Parental qualifications and child poverty in 2020
• Ending severe child poverty
• The effects of discrimination on families in the fight to end child poverty

The reports can be downloaded from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation website.
