“…De skandinaviske velferdsstatene utmerker seg imidlertid saerlig når det gjelder reduksjon av fattigdom og da spesielt fattigdom blant barn. Sammenligner vi omfanget av relativ barnefattigdom før og etter at velferdsstatens omfordelende funksjoner er tatt hensyn til, ser vi at den relative barnefattigdommen reduseres med om lag 75 prosent i de skandinaviske velferdsstatene mot i overkant av 40 prosent i de liberale og kontinentale velferdsstatene (Gornick og Jäntti, 2012). De skandinaviske velferdsstatene har blant de laveste forekomstene av barnefattigdom i verden og utgjør de mest barnevennlige landene i Europa, evaluert over et bredt spekter av velferdsindikatorer (Bradshaw og Richardson, 2009;UNICEF, 2016).…”

“…Den oppadstigende mobiliteten nederst i inntektsfordelingen blant barn som vokser opp i hjem med dårlig familieøkonomi, er saerlig høy i Norge og andre de skandinaviske velferdsstatene (Bratberg et al, 2016;Bratsberg et al, 2007). Egalitaere velferdsstater reduserer altså ikke bare omfanget av barnefattigdom (Gornick og Jäntti, 2012)…”

“…These families thereby face higher risks of economic deprivation, which may translate to poverty depending on the degree of support offered by the institutional context (Fouarge and Layte, 2005;Gornick and Jäntti, 2012;McKernan and Ratcliffe, 2005;Misra et al, 2012;Oppenheimer et al, 1997;Western et al, 2012).…”

“…During recent decades, poverty and economic vulnerability trends across European Union (EU) countries have increased , particularly among young people, single parents and single-earner families with children (Gornick, and Jäntti, 2012OECD, 2008, 2011bRussell et al, 2013;Scherer and Grotti, 2014). Despite the average growth in family income, work-family economic conditions are now even more exposed to unemployment, precariousness and carousel careers due to an increase in dual-earner families and the rise in women's/mothers' labour market participation (Keck and Saraceno, 2013).…”

This article deals with families' risk of entering poverty as a consequence of childbirth in four European Union (EU) welfare clusters. Poverty risks around childbirth are institutionally stratified according to specific characteristics of national welfare systems and the value they assign to family policies as well as the kind of labour market deregulation. While southern European countries are known for having welfare systems that make few provisions for 'the future generations of citizens', conservative and social-democratic countries differ significantly in the amount of their investments in family policies. We compare households' risks of entering poverty at childbirth between Southern Europe and the rest of Europe using pooled longitudinal European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data and applying panel models and propensity score matching. We show that childbirth is very poverty inducing only in southern Europe, especially for the less 'labour market-attached' households (precarious worker families, the unemployed) and traditional single-earner families, thereby pointing out the under-protectiveness of the Southern European systems of family and social policies. This situation is exacerbating additional inequality as families' well-being largely depends on the previous unequal social stratification of resources.

We would like to thank Nancy Kong for all of her assistance during the initial stages of this project and Cameron Phipps-Burton for extremely helpful comments. This paper was presented as the 'Canadian Public Policy Lecture' at the 51st Annual Conference of the Canadian Economics Association, June 1 -4, 2017 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The goal of this paper is to provide a descriptive comparison of economic outcomes for Canadian children, at the bottom, middle and top of the population income distribution. We use a very wide-angle camera, enabling us to provide a broad picture of differences/changes in families, policies and child outcomes. First, we describe some important changes over time in the families in which children live, nationally and by province. Second, we provide an overview of how Canadian policy in support of children has changed and how it differs across provinces. Of particular interest is the fact that the federal government has increased expenditures on child benefits considerably over the past 20 years, and expenditures are expected to grow further with the new Canada Child Benefit introduced in July of 2016 (Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, 2017). Third, we illustrate changes/differences in median incomes, in income distributions and in child poverty both before and after taxes and transfers at different points of time and in different provinces. Finally, we compare economic well-being of children in Canada in 2010 with that experienced by children in eight other similarly affluent countries with different policies to support children. 4 We are using this talk as an opportunity to indulge our own interests in how the economic well-being of Canadian children has changed over time; and how it compares to the economic well-being of children living in other affluent nations. We are also curious about provincial differences in the resources available for children since many relevant policies are set at the provincial level; and, we have a special interest in children from Atlantic Canada who have, perhaps, been less-studied than children from some other regions.
