Policy Lab: Can the European Child Guarantee do more for children’s health?
Children’s health is shaped by the conditions they grow up in: income, housing, food, education and access to care. For children facing poverty and social exclusion, gaps in any of these can affect their health for life.
The European Child Guarantee is meant to close those gaps by giving children at risk of poverty free access to early childhood education and care, education, healthcare, healthy nutrition and adequate housing. But how well is it working for children’s health, and how could it work better?
Join us for our next online Policy Lab on 20 November to find out. Together, we will:
- Hear the European perspective on the Guarantee’s contribution to child health and wellbeing, with speakers from the European Commission, WHO/Europe, UNICEF, and the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education.
- Explore how countries are putting it into practice and working across sectors, with examples from Austria, Romania, and Portugal.
- Discuss how a stronger Guarantee can speed up action on children’s health towards 2030.
