The State Action Plan for the Implementation of the European Child Guarantee (2022-2030) is the main tool with which Spain will implement the European Child Guarantee (ECI), a Recommendation of the Council of the European Union aimed at breaking the cycle of child poverty.
The European Child Guarantee (ECE)1 is a Recommendation of the Council of the European Union on preventing and combating child poverty and exclusion that aims to ensure access to key services and policy areas for children and adolescents living in households experiencing poverty or social exclusion (AROPE indicator), paying particular attention to groups in situations of special vulnerability and at risk of social exclusion.
The aim of the EIG is to ensure that all children and adolescents in the European Union have access to six basic rights: education and childcare, education and after-school activities, at least one healthy meal per school day, health care, adequate housing and healthy food.
The deterioration in the socio-economic conditions of many vulnerable households as a result of COVID-19 has made circumstances even more difficult for large numbers of children and adolescents. Although the available data do not yet allow for a detailed understanding of the magnitude and intensity of the effects of the pandemic, both the 2020 LCA and advanced indicators of income trends point to an increase in inequality and a deterioration in the situation of the most vulnerable groups (Aspachs et al., 2021; Eurostat, 2021).
