In major cities, it's quite possible that the lower income would be outweighed by, in particular, daycare costs. If you're paying a thousand dollars a month per child, have two children, and your after-tax income is below $25 000, you're working to pay the sitter.
I should point out that this doesn't have to be limited to traditional (i.e. nuclear) families. Gay couples would qualify, common-law couples would probably qualify, and there was one suggestion that single parents of kids old enough to file their own tax return could also benefit.
