Answer 2

Explanation:

The US is considering introducing a monthly child benefit for the first time, a seismic shift for the country that has some of the highest rates of child poverty in the developed world.

Democrats are hoping to include the measure - which could pay up to $300 (£217.50) per month per child - as part of a larger coronavirus spending package.

President Joe Biden's spokeswoman this week repeated that the current plans are focused on "emergency funding" rather than a more permanent shift.

But anti-poverty advocates, who have pushed for a monthly benefit for years, hope inserting such a programme temporarily will lay the groundwork for more lasting change.

"It is an emergency and not a temporary one," says Michelle Dallafior, senior vice president for budget and tax at First Focus on Children, a children's advocacy group in Washington.

"Child poverty in this country has been persistently high and once we get a programme into place and iron out those wrinkles, then we're going to keep pushing to make sure that it is permanent."

What's wrong with the current system?

Most developed countries, including the UK, have for decades offered some form of monthly child allowance to offset the costs of having children.
