A new UNICEF
report says that the poverty of children in the Netherlands has increased from
12.9% in 2008 up to 13.9% in 2013. 11%
of people interviewed in 2013 said that there had been moments where they did
not have enough money to buy food for themselves. In 2008, the figure was 4%. Already in March of this year, the
Verwey-Jonker Institute published the fact that between 2009-2012, the number
of children living in poverty in the Netherlands increased by 10%. The report also mentioned that impoverished children
live mainly outside the main urban areas.
