A new report by the Urban Institute found federal spending on children reached a new high during the pandemic in 2021, but researchers project that level of increased spending won’t last.

According to the Urban Institute’s annual Kids’ Share report, federal spending per child reached $10,710 in 2021. That’s compared to before the pandemic, when the federal government spent $6,810 per child in 2019.
