Before the Covid-19 outbreak, 1 in 4 children were at risk of extreme poverty in Europe. Today 117 million more children are now at risk of falling below the national poverty lines and they are among the most vulnerable. To eradicate child poverty and tackle social inclusion, the European Parliament stressed in a series of resolutions and initiatives that every child in poverty should have access to free healthcare, free education, free childcare, decent housing and adequate nutrition, through a well-funded child guarantee.
