Webinar: Nordic status report launch on children and youth in families with persistent low income

18 February 2026 How are children and young people in the Nordic region faring when their families live with persistently low income? Join us for the launch of the Nordic status report Children and youth in families with persistent low income, organised by the Nordic Welfare Centre. The report examines how persistent low income – a key indicator of child poverty – affects children’s living conditions, development, and opportunities across the Nordic countries. It reflects relative poverty, showing how a person’s income compares to the rest of society. Persistent low income builds on the AROP concept (At-Risk-Of-Poverty) by focusing on the duration of low income. While AROP may capture temporary financial hardship, persistent low income highlights households that have remained below the poverty threshold for several consecutive years. This provides a deeper understanding of long-term economic vulnerability. Based on existing data and research, the report provides an overview of current trends and presents ideas for improving how child poverty is monitored and understood. Presenters: Tone Fløtten (Fafo): Why monitoring child poverty in the Nordic region matters, and children’s own experiences of growing up in families facing persistent poverty Debora Pricila Birgier & Maria Bobrinskaya (Nordregio): Key trends and disparities across the Nordic region, and proposals for strengthening data and analysis Geir Holtan Møller (Telemarksforsking) & Karin Gustavsen (KORUS): Promising approaches to support social mobility and equal opportunities for children and youth Vítor Miranda (Nordregio): Challenges and opportunities in the Nordic Statistics database for tracking children’s living conditions and economic vulnerability
