The government’s approach to poverty is to deal with negative consequences as they arise… like a leaky roof, poverty’s consequences only get harder and more expensive to fix the more we put off dealing with them. Governments often balk at the high costs of policies that would effectively reduce poverty, such as building more social housing, increasing welfare rates and funding high-quality public early learning programs for all children. This kind of thinking assumes that sticking to the status quo… is free. This is not true, as our study demonstrates.
