The COVID-19 pandemic will have long term economic consequences for children, communities and countries around the world. Children who were already poor and vulnerable will be the most affected, as they suffer the impacts of lost education, poorer nutrition, increased child labour and child marriage, and greater mental ill health.
More than 142 million children were projected to have fallen into poverty by the end of 2020.
The combined effect of lost learning, lowered income, food security and access to health services are estimated to result in a 4.5 per cent drop in human capital for children of school age, reducing the productivity and growth prospects of countries around the globe for decades. It is essential that countries invest in children to achieve sustained, inclusive economic growth with a population that is prepared for the global economy of the future.
