We have recently completed a comparative study of child benefit packages (as at July 2001) in 22 countries. This paper will review how the structure and level of the Australian package compares with the other countries. It will consider how it varies with earnings, family type and number of children compared with other countries. It will compare replacement rates and marginal tax rates. It will conclude with a review of its strengths and weaknesses in comparative perspective.
