Poverty can mean children going without basics, and it can also mean missing out on everyday fun and activities that other kids take for granted. Poverty harms children's health, social and emotional wellbeing, and education. It harms their childhoods and their futures.
Child poverty is not inevitable. Making sure every child gets a good start in life is the right thing to do and the smartest investment we can make as a country.
