By state, the highest values of 2022 are for Romania (41.5%), Bulgaria (33.9%) and the Spanish State (32.2%). In other words, in Spain the risk of poverty or social exclusion of minors is 7.5% higher than the EU average.
On the other side of the coin, Slovenia (10.3%), the Czech Republic (13.4%) and Denmark (13.8%) recorded the lowest rates. Clearly, in the EU, even in countries with lower rates of poverty or social exclusion, the figure does not fall from one in ten. Moreover, in advanced capitalist powers such as Germany the percentage is close to 25% and in the Netherlands to 15%.

In addition, 106,273 people, 59.7% more than in 2008, calculated using the Eurostat method that they lived "at serious risk of poverty".
