European Child Guarantee monitor

Monitoring access to services for children and their living conditions

The European Child Guarantee represents a significant step towards ensuring that every child in the European Union, particularly those at risk of poverty or social exclusion, has access to essential services like education, healthcare, nutrition and adequate housing. Eurofound is committed to providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on this initiative.

The data and analysis presented here cover trends and disparities in children's access to early childhood education and care, education, healthcare, nutrition and housing. This is done using a convergence analysis, which tracks whether Member States are improving in respect of specific performance indicators and whether disparities between them are expanding or narrowing. The analysis includes those indicators that are part of the common monitoring framework to assess progress with implementation of the European Child Guarantee in which it is feasible to carry out convergence analysis.

Background

The Council Recommendation (EU) 2021/1004 of 14 June 2021 establishing a European Child Guarantee supports the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights by promoting access of children in need to early childhood education and care, healthcare, housing, education and school-based activities, at least one healthy meal each school day and healthy nutrition.

The European Child Guarantee Recommendation states that it applies to children in need, which refers to persons under age 18 who are at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE).
