49612 (2024). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction

49612 (2024). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction: What, advice and evidence, if any, was used to inform the change from the new child poverty reduction BHC50 targets indicated in the Cabinet Paper, and those which were finally agreed upon?

Hon Louise Upston: I received a range of advice prior to setting the third intermediate child poverty reduction targets. In the interest of transparency, a list of reports received by my office from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is regularly published on MSD's website. The lists of titles are available here: https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/information-releases/reports-to-the-minister-for-child-poverty-reduction/index.html.
