In 2024, 4.9% of children aged under 16 in Switzerland were affected by at least three child-specific deprivations. This figure is one of the lowest in Europe. Children in low-income and single-parent households were disproportionately affected, with 14% of children in these groups experiencing deprivation. The poverty rate among Switzerland's total population was 8.4%. These are some of the findings from the Deprivation and Children's Health module of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) conducted by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
