End Child Poverty Now!

In 2010 Campaign to End Child Poverty Eurochild is calling European political leaders to take every possible measure to fight the problem. 1 out of 5 children in Europe is living at the risk of poverty. As poverty is often passed on from generation to generation, the best route to break the poverty cycle is tackling poverty already early in childhood.

Eurochild recommends the following actions to be taken:
• Setting clear targets to reduce child poverty,
• Producing an annual scoreboard on child well-being,
• Improving data collection and reporting on children,
• Showing what works and helping member states improve their policy and practice through mutual learning and exchange,
• Working together across all policy areas that influence child well-being.
