Child Rights Report – 2023

The cost of raising children has reached record levels

What was it like to be a child in 2023?

To answer this question, we have compiled all available data, information, research, and publications in the Child Rights Report. This report outlines both major trends and specific situations affecting different groups of children. We discuss challenges related to the education system, child protection, and child health, while also analyzing data on children’s well-being, ranging from physical and mental health to issues such as abuse and other risky behaviors. Additionally, we address the most significant changes in legislation and institutional operations. Finally, we highlight trends and challenges concerning the care and placement of children growing up outside their families, as well as the importance of providing responsible care for them.

The 8th edition of the annual Child Rights Report seeks to answer this question across more than 90 pages.

Take a look at the 2023 report!

The future is being shaped now, and we are the ones shaping it. After all, today’s children will become tomorrow’s adults. In 2022, they experienced an extraordinary number of events and influences that could affect them for the rest of their lives. However, in many ways, 2022 did not introduce anything entirely new. Instead, it clearly highlighted the results of long-standing negative trends that have persisted for many years—sometimes even decades. We are now facing the consequences, while the causes and triggering factors lie in the past or have reached their peak due to years of delay and inaction.
