Almost one child in three with a migrant background is at risk of poverty in the EU27

eurostat

In the EU27, children who have a migrant background, meaning that at least one parent was born in another country than the current country of residence, were at greater risk of monetary poverty than children whose parents were native born. In 2011, 32% of children residing with at least one foreign born parent were at risk of poverty in the EU27, compared with 18% of children whose parents were native born. This was the case in a majority of Member States. In Estonia, Hungary and Malta children with native born parents had a higher risk of poverty, while there was almost no difference between the two groups in the Czech Republic.
