The war in Ukraine will produce 35.400 new poor Albanians in Albania, close to 41.500 people in Kosovo, and 28.200 citizens will fall below the poverty line in Serbia, according to the UNICEF report on the consequences of the war on child poverty.
The report, which analyzes data for 22 countries, says that the war and the resulting rise in the cost of living in Eastern Europe and Central Asia will push millions of children into poverty, reports Radio KiM.
UNICEF indicates that among the 35.400 inhabitants of Albania who will fall into poverty, there will be around 9000 children, in Kosovo 16.354, and in Serbia 7989 children.
According to data for the region, 28.200 new people are expected to be on the list of poor in Serbia, 17.000 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 5.500 in North Macedonia and slightly less than 1.000 citizens in Montenegro.
A UNICEF study shows that in the 22 observed countries, children bear the brunt of the economic crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Children make up 25 percent of the population in those countries, but among the additional 10.400.000 people who will experience or have already entered poverty this year, there are almost 40 percent of children.
