Figure 3.8 shows average cuts expressed as a percentage of net income for couples with children, by family size. In contrast to the situation for lone parents, losses for couples increase (as a percentage of income) in line with family size. This is largely driven by cuts to schools and FE and HE spending.

3.6.4 Impact of cuts by ethnicity of adults in the family Figure 3.9 shows cuts as a percentage of income for couples with children broken down by parental ethnicity. On average, families with children where the parents are Black/Black British or Asian/Asian British are most affected. This is largely drive by cuts to FE and HE spending, including on parents own re-education, schools, social care and (particularly where parents are Black/Black British) social housing cuts. Figure 3.9. Impact of cuts as percentage of income by parental ethnicity 3.6.5 The impact of cuts on families with disabled children Table 3.3 shows the impact of the spending cuts expressed as a percentage of net income for families with children who are disabled under various definitions. Compared with families with a whole (for whom the cuts amount to the equivalent of 5.2 percent of net income), families with disabled children are hit harder by the cuts under all disability definitions. This is due to a combination of increased reliance on schools spending, social housing spending and (in particular) FE and HE spending. Table 3.4.
