The silent emergency of child poverty in Spain | Gonzalo Fanjul | TEDxMadrid

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. One out of three Spanish children are poor. The crisis of child poverty was serious back in 2008 and has only deepened during the Great Recession, showing the vulnerability of families and the inneficacy of public safety nets. The consequences might be felt for decades. Yet, this crisis is hidden behind a flawed set of data that fragments and impedes an informed public debate. Filling this gap will be necessary if we are to unfold the political energy and creativity needed to rescue a whole generation. Gonzalo Fanjul is a researcher and anti-poverty activist.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
