Share of Families with Children Receiving Work-Related Tax Credits, 1997 to 2008

"The reforms led to a substantial increase in the numbers receiving in work tax credits. The WFTC went to twice as many families as Family Credit (the in-work cash benefit it replaced)—by 2002–2003, 1.4 million families with children had received this benefit, out of a total of 15 million."—p. 57, Britain's War on Poverty
