Child Poverty Rate (%)
This indicator compares countries by Child Poverty Rate (%). The raw value shows the measured input, while the score normalizes it for international comparison.
Raw-value source: harmonised child-poverty rate in percent. Official UNICEF/OECD and national child-poverty values are used where comparable; missing countries are calibrated with the World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform, WDI SI.POV.UMIC ($6.85/day) and WDI SI.POV.NAHC. Lower is better.
