Let's end child poverty NOW!

The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament and the Party of European Socialists jointly welcome today’s Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation to establish the Child Guarantee, under the leadership of Commissioner Nicolas Schmit. In 2014, the socialist family presented their initiative for a Child Guarantee to fight child poverty across Europe. Since then, they have spearheaded the campaign to ensure decent housing and adequate nutrition, as well as free quality education, childcare and healthcare for all children.
