How can the EU’s post-2020 budget fight child poverty and social exclusion? Recommendations for the ESF+ and the Common Provision Regulations
The EU Alliance for Investing in Children, of which EuroHealthNet is part, has issued a statement including recommendations for the ESF+ and Common Provision Regulations
Poverty severely impact children’s health and their ability to develop their talents and capabilities, to establish relationships, and to learn. Poverty is carried on from one generation to another and severely undermines social cohesion and participation in society. If Member States and EU institutions want to fulfil their “commitment to work towards a social Europe” as declared in the joint Proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, Member States need to start by firmly reducing poverty and investing in children and families in vulnerable situations.
