Ukraine: Child poverty reduction should be prioritized as COVID-19 pandemic unfolds – UNICEF together with the Ministry of Social Policy launched Child Poverty Report (Press release)
UNICEF – October 13, 2021
Children in Ukraine are more likely to live in poverty than adults as the poverty rate among families with children is higher than in families without children (47% versus 34%, respectively as of 2019). Poverty rates are highest in large families (with three or more children) and children in the youngest age groups – under 3 years of age – are the most affected by monetary poverty. Such findings are outlined in the Child Poverty Report, launched by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies (of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) together with the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.
