Over 20% of children, or 69 million, grapple with poverty across the 40 wealthiest nations, UNICEF said in a report released Wednesday, criticizing Britain and France for their poor standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s despite a drop in child poverty rates in the periods from 2012 to 2014 and 2019 to 2021, by around 8% in the 40 European Union and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) wealthy countries assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is equivalent to around 6 million children out of a total child population of 291 million,” said UNICEF Innocenti, the United Nations agency’s research arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at the end of 2021, there were still more than 69 million kids in poverty in those countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For most children, this means that they may grow up without enough nutritious food, clothes, school supplies or a warm place to call home,” said Bo Viktor Nylund of UNICEF Innocenti, highlighting the impact of such struggles on young people’s physical and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNICEF figure is based on relative poverty, which is around 60% of the national median income, often used in developed countries to establish their own poverty levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report called for action to ensure children’s well-being and for political will among the countries surveyed, stressing that a country’s wealth did not automatically lift its children out of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
