Child Poverty

Child poverty refers to the condition where children live in families that lack the financial resources to meet basic needs, such as food, shelter, clothing, education, and healthcare. This situation can stem from various factors, including parental unemployment, low wages, and inadequate social support. Children in poverty often face significant barriers to their development, affecting their physical and mental health, education, and future opportunities. Addressing child poverty is crucial for breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring all children can thrive and reach their full potential.
