Pobreza de menores de edad en Europa
December 4, 2017 - Más de uno de cada cuatro (26,9%) de menores de entre 0 y 17 años estuvieron en riesgo de pobreza o exclusión social en la UE en 2015*. Las tasas variaron entre menos de 14% en Noruega y casi 47% en Rumania
Eurostat estimates that around 25 million children are living in or at risk of poverty or social exclusion.
Children at risk of poverty are those living in a household with a disposable income below the poverty threshold, which is set at 60% of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers). Eurostat divides the total household income by its size determined after applying the following weights: 1.0 to the first adult, 0.5 to each other household members aged 14 or over and 0.3 to each household member aged less than 14 years old.
