Poverty among children has risen rapidly in the past 20 years. Child poverty rates will continue to rise unless the federal government addresses this problem. No single program or policy can eliminate poverty. However, the implementation of a children's allowance or refundable tax credit similar to programs in other industrialized nations would provide a minimum income guarantee for all children regardless of their parents' income or work habits. This article does not attempt to address all the programs needed to aid children. Instead, it focuses on cash transfer programs. The article discusses child poverty, particularly for children in female-headed households on welfare; the causes of high poverty rates among children; proposals and programs aimed at reforming Aid to Families with Dependent Children (the most common cash transfer benefit program for female-headed households); and a proposal for another approach to providing cash benefits to children in the form of a children's allowance
