According to Eurostat, in 2024, almost 20 million children in the EU were at risk of poverty or social exclusion. This represented 24.2% of children under the age of 18.
I’ve visualised the data with three different graphs you can see below using Posit (previously known as R studio).
For more information, please visit Eurostat article.
