Between 2014 and 2021, child poverty in Bulgaria was reduced by 8.3%, but remains one of the highest in the EU, according to a UNICEF report surveying 40 OECD and EU countries. 26% of Bulgarian children are at risk of poverty, UNICEF's representative in Bulgaria, Christina De Bruin, said for Nova TV.
"One of the positive findings in the report for Bulgaria is that there has been progress in reducing the number of children with a poor parent and children deprived of access to services. 26% is a high share, one in four children in Bulgaria is at risk and lives in poverty. The report recommends 3 measures applicable to Bulgaria-ensuring access to social protection and family benefits, access to education and healthcare and family and child-focused policies", Christina De Bruin commented.
