The State of the World’s Children 2025

The promise of childhood is broken for millions when poverty denies them their basic rights and the chance to reach their full potential. The State of the World’s Children 2025: Ending Child Poverty – Our Shared Imperative exposes the staggering scale and depth of deprivation facing children in every corner of the globe. The analysis examines multidimensional poverty across health, education, nutrition, housing, sanitation and water, and provides a critical roadmap for governments and partners to dismantle barriers, prioritize social protection, and build a world where every child can survive and thrive. The Statistical Compendium presents the most recent key statistics on child survival, development and protection for the world’s countries, areas and regions. It supports UNICEF’s focus on progress and results towards internationally agreed-upon goals and compacts relating to children’s and women’s rights and development.
