Children’s Report Germany 2018

A large part of the population in Germany gives the state and society bad testimony in combating child poverty in Germany. Around three quarters believe that this "rather little" or "very little" do to counteract child poverty effectively.

In addition to this inadequate commitment, insufficient parental income through precarious employment and insufficient support for single parents are the most important causes of child poverty in Germany. These are central results of the Children’s Report 2018 of the German Children’s Fund, which was presented by the President of the German Children’s Fund, Thomas Krüger, and the Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stephan Weil in Berlin on Friday.
