520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Child abuse and neglect are consistently found at higher rates in families facing low income and income insecurity, and in contexts with lower public spending on children and families.<br/>However, child abuse and neglect, particularly as measured through engagement with child protective services, has deep intergenerational and institutional causes, casting doubt on the<br/>effectiveness of income transfers alone to reduce it. In 2018, Aotearoa New Zealand introduced a “Families Package” of policies, including a small, unconditional cash transfer to mothers with children under three years of age, which increased family income by 5% on average. Using four years of national administrative child protective services and hospitalization data and difference-in-difference models, we find that the introduction of the Families Package was<br/>associated with a 19% (OR: 0.81, CI: 0.80-0.81, p.value=0.003) reduction in overall referrals to family services in nonurgent cases of suspected maltreatment, without significant changes in urgent cases. For M¯aori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, and those for whom the<br/>child protective services had recorded notifications of concern for older (half) siblings, the reduction was 26% (OR: 0.74, CI: 0.61-0.91, p.value=0.003). The Families Package likely also<br/>reduced neglect in single-mother families (OR 0.6, CI: 0.38 - 0.93, p.value=0.022). We find no statistically significant effects, however, on social worker findings of emotional or physical abuse, or for hospitalizations for traumatic brain injury. (Authors' abstract). Record #8896
