The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre Child Poverty in Australia 2024 report has just been released.
The report compared the life outcomes of young people who grew up in poverty, exposing the scarring effect on life outcomes.
Following their paths through life over 22 years, the data shows:
We are failing every Australian child who each day is going hungry, without a place to call home and reduced educational and life opportunities. Most Australians are shocked to discover that 17 per cent of our kids live in poverty.
The Child Poverty in Australia 2024 report by Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre released during Homelessness Week was commissioned by the Valuing Children Initiative for the End Child Poverty campaign.
