Despite Luxembourg’s high GDP per capita, child poverty remains a concern, especially among low-income families, single-parent households, and non-native households. In this context, well-designed child policy portfolios that emphasise efficiency, effectiveness, and equity are crucial for enhancing child well-being and reducing poverty.
This project maps the current state of child poverty in Luxembourg. It explores how public spending, especially on cash and childcare policies, can be reformed to enhance their impact. By reviewing the most recent poverty profiles, the study assesses how financial resources are currently used to support children and identifies areas for improvement.
It also evaluates how well cash benefits and childcare services respond to family needs. Based on this analysis, the project offers concrete policy recommendations to strengthen support systems and improve outcomes for all children.
The project’s report is available here.
This project was commissioned by UNICEF Luxembourg.
