Unicef warns that high housing costs lead to the vulnerability of 780,000 more minors in Spain. Spain already has the highest child poverty rate in the European Union.
Data from the INE for the second quarter of 2023 indicate a growth of 46.6% in property ownership prices since 2015. More than half a million children suffer from severe deprivation at home, which places Spain in the last position in the EU regarding this issue. The shortage of public housing, which represents 2.5% of the total number of households, leads many Spanish minors to live in precarious situations.
