The Impact of COVID-19 on Child Poverty and Social Protection

Save the Children carried out a global survey of children and their families to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the access to health, education, livelihoods and protection, and to collect the views of children. It is the most complete and exhaustive survey conducted on children and their families since the outbreak of the pandemic. The research was carried out with families participating in Save the Children programs in seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

As part of a series of reports to present the results of the research on COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean, this document presents the results of the survey with respect to child poverty and social protection.
