The number of children at risk of poverty has increased steadily over the past four years. Compared to the EU average values, it can be stated that child poverty rate is even worse than the poverty rate characteristic of the country, which is otherwise alarmingly high in itself. The child poverty rate has extremely serious consequences for the skills and competencies next generation, and will thus hinder the realization of the objectives of the Green New Deal for a whole generation. Poverty affects the health and educational achievements of the next generation.
