Should the government consolidate all child benefits into a single increased Basic Child Security payout to fight child poverty?

The Basic Child Security is a proposed project of the German coalition government, aiming to bundle various child benefits into a single, easier-to-access monthly payment. Proponents support this as a necessary, un-bureaucratic step to eradicate systemic child poverty by ensuring parents actually receive the funds they are entitled to. Opponents oppose this because giving larger cash payouts to parents does not guarantee the money will be spent on the children, arguing society would be better served by investing directly in educational infrastructure.
