Finally, these children are less well covered by social assistance than children in the previous group, since about 1 in 5 children in this group are in a family who receives a social assistance allowance against one third in group 1. Only a very small minority of children (about 90,000 children, i.e. 1.4% of all children aged 0 to 17) experience deprivation in all areas, but some of their characteristics (single parenthood, unemployment or joblessness, low parental education) make them more vulnerable than others. Very low-incomes, lack of employment and the presence of parents bom outside Canada are factors putting children at a greater risk of facing multiple deprivations. Although the families of these two groups of children usually receive financial assistance (child tax credit, social assistance benefit), a significant minority of them still face multiple deprivations.
