33.4 percent of children under 18 live in extreme material deprivation, thus being unable to afford at least four out of the aforementioned nine household items. The proportion of children living in extreme material deprivation is three times the EU average, while the number of malnourished children is four times the figure found in the available comparative international statistics. The fact that the state is unable to provide basic goods for children in 2013 in Europe is strongly contrary to the objectives of the Green new Deal.
