→ At the bottom of the chart, the five countries with orange bars saw increases in
poverty of more than 10 per cent, of which the highest rise was in the United Kingdom
(20 per cent).
→ On average, 8 per cent fewer children were in poverty in 2019–2021 than in 2012–2014
across these 40 countries. This is equivalent to around 6 million children out of a total
child population of 291 million. There were still over 69 million children in poverty at the
end of this period.
