In 2024, 11.3% of children lived in households in material and social deprivation, which corresponds to an increase compared to the proportion observed in 2021 (10.7%) and a slightly higher proportion than that obtained for the general population (11.0%).
The rate of severe material and social deprivation was also higher for children (5.0%) than for the general population (4.3%). A higher level of parental education is associated with less material and social deprivation, decreasing from 55.5% when considering children in deprivation with both parents with schooling up to basic education, to 18.5% when at least one of the parents has higher education.
The proportion of children living in households unable to afford at least one week's holiday a year away from home for all their members up to the age of 15 increased from 15.5% in 2021 to 20.6% in 2024.
In 2024, the need for medical consultations or treatment was not met for 1.8% of children, in the case of non-dental care, and for 3.6%, in the case of dental care.
