Three OIA tables that explain child poverty

Little commentary needed from me. The tables are self-explanatory. If you pick up slight discrepancies that is because the questions asked were slightly different; some variations in how the database is queried, and the first table doesn't include 16 and 17 year-olds. Suffice to say the numbers are shockingly high.



13,634 caregivers (and some will have added two babies) account for 22 percent of all babies born in 2011.

The single most influential impact on reducing child poverty would be the reduction  in these numbers
