24 percent of children in Germany grow up in households that are either income-poor and / or receive unemployment benefit II. The study gives an impression what it means living in poverty in Germany.
In comparison to the situation of children living in families with a secured financial position, the living conditions of children in families with unemployment benefit II receipt in terms of availability of goods and opportunities to social and cultural participation are characterized by an undersupply in almost all areas considered.
The study is available in German with an English abstract.
