‘Number of Children Living in Poor Households Could Increase by 15 Percent’- Bianet English
Save the Children and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have conducted an analysis into the ways in which the economic fallout of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could affect children, especially the ones living in poor households in low- and middle-income countries.
The results of the analysis have shown that without urgent action, the number of children living in poor households across low- and middle-income countries could increase by 86 million and reach 672 million by the end of 2020. The analysis expects a 15-percent increase in that regard.
According to the findings of the analysis, nearly two-thirds of the children to be affected live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
