At this point, the motion is adopted.

It's gonna make it a monthly benefit.

Beginning in July, we're going to see families get $250 a month if their child is ages 6 to 17 $300 per month per child.

If the child is under the age of six.

The US has long been an outlier in the way that we structure and deliver our child tax credit.

Many other countries have had some sort of child benefit and child allowance in place since post World War Two.

You can look at examples from Germany.

You can look at examples from France.

You can look at South Korea.

Countries all over the world have this.

Mm hmm.

The United Kingdom has also long, you know, since the post war period had a child benefit.

That was a fundamental piece of the way the country sort of restructured themselves after the war.

One other country that has been really useful to look at lately is Canada.

They significantly restructured the benefit and increase the value that it's now one of the more generous forms that's available in countries around the world, and the U.

S.

Has been paying close attention to this because Canada was able to see significant reductions in child poverty in a very short period of time.

If it was, two young Children in the U.

S.

Will now see what equates to essentially about £5000 per year.

This is actually moving the US up in terms of generosity of this benefit.

Compared to some other countries, Canada still delivers a higher one for two young Children in Canada.

Um, a family could receive potentially maximum of roughly £7000 per year.

Two child family in the United Kingdom would receive about £1700 per year, and different countries have different reasons for doing it.

Yeah.
