The Childcare Cliff Edge: A Tale of Incentivized Inequality The latest report from the Centre for Tax Reform (CenTax) highlights a peculiar aspect of Britain's childcare policy that inadvertently perpetuates economic inequality.
Families with one high earning partner lose their entitlement to free childcare at a threshold, which is set to become even more pronounced by 2030.
The average parent crossing this threshold faces an income requirement of £124,000. The government should be motivated to address this anomaly, given its long term consequences.
