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.
