Should child benefits be restricted to a maximum of two children?

I believe it could be a consideration to cap at 2 or 3 children. However, most importantly the parents should be able to claim based on the combined income not solely on the highest earner

Yes, but increased to three children and parents must have been living and working in the UK for 5 or more years

Parents who claim child benefits should not receive money but instead receive coupons that can be used for specific requirements like healthy food, clothing etc. A parent who claims child benefits should also not be able to smoke, drink or have luxury items.

No - unsure of a solution here but people shouldn’t have children they can’t afford to keep

I think having children should be part of education, I feel as though some don’t understand what it takes to be a parent.

Yes, unless the third child came through rape, etc. Then they should be entitled to the benefit.

Child benefit should be for one child only and means tested.

The benefit system should be replaced with a UBI

Available to permanent residents. Allowance for each child but reducing on a sliding scale.

Abolish all incentives for procreation.

No, as long as both parents/guardians are permanent residents of the UK and one or both parents are employed.

Yes but families with more children should be grandfathered in

No Child benefits or benefits

depends on when they had the children - before or after they were on benefits

Increase it to be unlimited, however improve sex education in high school and incentivise having only one child, also make abortion more accessible to women.

Yes, but increase to 4 children and the parent(s) should be citizens of the UK

No, however, if it is conjectured that people are manipulating the use of the system to accrue money and circumnavigate having a job, then it should be culminated for them.

no the government should engage white brits to make more children to curb the extension of our people

No, but anyone who claims benefits should be subject to an inspection to determine wether they should get the money.

No, deny benefits to all immigrants instead and provide incentives for ethnically British subjects to reproduce.

This one is tricky. I'm inclined to say that as long as one member of the household is working full time, that child benefit should be able available to any amount of children in that household. Whereas if someone has no intention of having a job, then child benefit should stop at 2. However, that would then significantly disadvantage the child in question, who was brought in this world through no fault of their own. Maybe child benefit should be more targeted to the children, rather than a sum of money given to a parent? Again, the Tories have distroyed the entire system, I'd…  Read more be inclined to have a sit down with both sides, including experts from charitable foundations to try and work out a fairer system, whereby people don't just get to have everything for free, just because they are playing the system by having multiple children, but also puts a child in to poverty because they've been left behind - really tricky.

By keeping it at two, if you have two parents who are poor, you dont want 3 people who are poor growing up. That adds +1 person. keep the poverty rate stable. If someone has had 3 children and then suddenly become poor for a business collapse or parents were sacked. The 3rd child should be helped and how ever many children they have. But not if you are poor and keep having children, this should deter people from doing that.

Yes but only if different parents have two children, for example myself and partner have 2 children but my partner already had 1.

Yes but increase maximum to 5 and only if both life full time in the UK and at least one is a citizen

Depends on the families circumstances. eg. If they’ve been contributing to society and then are suddenly made redundant, then the number of children shouldn’t be a factor. If a family is purposely producing children to claim benefits then of course this should be investigated.

Yes and no, it should be capped but made more beneficial and sustainable, long term, and should also depend on number of children and circumstances of families or be reformed and reworked into something like a Citizens Income

If you need more benefits for for than 3 children, it may be time to turn your children into the government.

No, there should instead be increased sexual health education in poorer areas to less accidental pregnancies happen. Along with better access to contraception.

No, as long as the primary caregiver is a permanent resident of the uk

Child benefits should be removed from higher-income families

No, but only pay child benefit to UK citizens

No, it should be increased for parents of larger families.

only one child

No it should be restricted to four

The cap should remain, It should also be means tested, people's ability to raise children should also be assessed.

Yes, unless there is a unforseen and unfrtunate event that changes the circumstances of families of more than 3 children.

if both parents are British nationals and reside in Britain, then no, it is good to have an incentive to have more children.

Yes and only available to those in work to help support a working family

No, but above 2 children it should be means tested

Depends on the needs of the country.

Increase to 5, parents must have been born in UK.

No restrict to a maximum of four children

Introduce a cap of 5 children as a limit, however both parents must be permanent residents and have British Citizenship to claim. For Non-Brits, Two child limit applies until they claim Naturalization. .

Yes, but increase to five children and only for native people

Yes but increase to 3 children and only allow citizens, foreign veterans and refugees to claim

No but it should be means tested to some extent

2 live pregnancies so not to penalise a woman with multiple pregnancy.

No, but it should be a reduced payment past 2 children
