Canadian Child Benefits: Behavioural Consequences and Income Adequacy
This paper assesses two dimensions of the new Canadian child benefit system. First, evidence is presented to show that the earned-income supplement (EIS) will not increase the labour supply of parents with low earnings. Second, the paper demonstrates that the level of child benefits is low by international standards, both in terms of offsetting child costs for all families with children and in terms of alleviating child poverty.
