Guaranteeing access to services for children in the EU

The European Child Guarantee was established in 2021 to ensure that children in need have access to a set of key services. This policy brief analyses trends and disparities in children’s access to early childhood education and care, education, healthcare, nutrition and housing.

The publication analyses whether Member States are improving in respect of specific performance indicators and whether disparities between them are expanding or narrowing. Where possible, the analysis also looks at the differences between urban and rural areas because of the relevance of this distinction for accessibility to services.

The data covers topics like the participation in early childhood education and care of children at risk of poverty or social exclusion, expenditure on education, early school-leaving, and e-schooling and digital skills.
