A country\u2019s income does not determine its level of child poverty. This seems to be the outcome of UNICEF\u2019s latest report on countries within the EU\/OECD, with a surprising leader topping the polls: Slovenia.<\/p>\n<p>The central European country, home to around two million people and known for its mountains, lakes and ski resorts, noted just 10% of children living in poverty conditions, a drop of 31% since 2014. Slovenia was followed by some other Eastern Bloc countries like Poland and Latvia in the UNICEF Innocenti rankings, which took into account a country\u2019s income poverty rate for children and their success in reducing child poverty in a time of economic prosperity (2012\u20132014 to 2019\u20132021).<\/p>\n<p>More common names you would maybe expect to hear, such as Japan and Ireland, came in only 8th and 9th on the list respectively. France, Spain, and the United Kingdom are close to the bottom of the rankings of 39 countries, with Britain only bettering Turkey and Colombia. The UK has double Slovenia\u2019s child poverty rate and was the country that saw the biggest increase by far, up 19%. Nordic countries such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark came in around mid-table.<\/p>\n<p>According to UNICEF, there are some key aspects to eradicating child poverty in a country. These include &#8211; among other things such as investing in education, health and nutrition &#8211; giving families cash benefits, introducing labour market reforms and providing adequate social protection.<\/p>\n<p>The latter is particularly important, as children living in poverty are generally in a more vulnerable situation. Slovenia has one of the highest minimum wages in Europe and provides free kindergarten to children, two aspects which could be key to its success. In Poland, the government\u2019s decision to increase cash benefits for families has helped to reduce child poverty significantly.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/12\/14\/slovenia-is-showing-europe-how-to-tackle-child-poverty\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/12\/14\/slovenia-is-showing-europe-how-to-tackle-child-poverty\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/122593\/\">Slovenia is showing Europe how to tackle child poverty<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1355,1751,2113,898,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-119566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-child","tag-poverty","tag-slovenia","tag-tackle","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119566\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
