Rising Child Poverty in Australia: Urgent Action Needed to End the Crisis
The Child Poverty in Australia 2024 report reveals a rise in child poverty, with 823,000 children living below the poverty line. The report highlights the lasting impact of poverty, including higher chances of remaining in poverty, poor mental health, and reduced life outcomes. Commissioned by the Valuing Children Initiative, the report underscores the urgent need for action to end child poverty.
For more than 20 years Anti-Poverty Week has operated in Australia around the 17th of October, the UN Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Our purpose is to help Australians understand poverty and to take action collectively to end it. Anti-Poverty Week 2024 will run from Sunday 13 October to Saturday 19 October.
