The situation of childhood in Spain is an alarming panorama that requires immediate attention and concrete action. Statistics show a reality we cannot ignore:
-
About 3 out of every 10 boys and girls in the country are affected by poverty or social exclusion.
-
More than 800 thousand children and adolescents live in conditions of acute material deprivation.
-
Almost 1 of every 4 children, girls and adolescents live in chronic poverty, persisting for three or more consecutive years.
However, childhood opportunity is not limited to a lack of economic opportunity, but its effects extend to areas of development such as education, but the digital divide and the number of educational opportunities can jeopardize learning and future opportunities. Moreover, in children and children with problems such as anxiety or depression, these chronic conditions caused by faltering can be reduced. In addition, the inability to participate in extracurricular or social activities held above increases desigualdad and can cause difficulties during communication.

Educational ambitions clearly reflect socio-economic inequalities. Lack of technology education makes online learning difficult and limited in case of academic problems that affect academic performance and inability to participate in extracurricular activities that reduce full educational opportunities.
