In most countries children remained more likely to be poor than the overall population. Only in Denmark, Finland and Estonia were child poverty rates appreciably lower than the total poverty rates (by around 2ppt). Meanwhile, in Hungary, Luxembourg, Romania and Spain, child poverty rates were at least 8ppt higher than for the population as a whole. Child poverty also tends to exceed pensioner poverty: in seven countries child poverty rates were at least lOppt higher, while in only three were they at least lOppt lower than poverty rates for those aged 65 and over.
