The latest report from the Women's Budget Group suggests a key way to help reduce child poverty is to focus on the plight of their mothers.

It then makes a number of suggestions for policy areas where impediments to mothers' raising their income could be targeted, including:

better rural public transport;

removing welfare & benefits' disincentives;

cutting ties to partners' benefits for women recipients; & of course

universal free childcare;
