This article presents statistical data on the situation of children (aged 0–17) in the European Union (EU) who were at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE).
The analysis compares them with adults (18–64) and the elderly (65 or over), and also takes a look at the impact of the household type, employment situation, parents' educational level, migrant background and severe material deprivation. All figures are based on EU-SILC (Statistics on income and living conditions).
