Nils Lives in a Country That Has a Family Allowance

Nils lives in a country that has a family allowance to accomplish an important objective: horizontal equity. This means:

A) supplementing the incomes of poor and most low-income families with children to prevent poverty
B) benefits are only available to working families with children, or a higher benefit is given to working parents
C) allowances foster societal cohesion
D) families only get benefits if their child receives full immunizations, thereby encouraging preventive health care
E) the redistribution of income from childless households to families with children, in recognition of the heavier financial burden imposed by childrearing
