Municipal action plan against child poverty

One in five children in Offenbach grows up in poverty - with significantly limited opportunities to participate in key areas of life such as education, health and social affairs. In July 2022, the city council therefore commissioned the municipal authorities to draw up a "Municipal Action Plan against Child Poverty". This gave the city administration the task of developing measures to reduce the consequences of growing up in poverty. In November 2022, the Youth Welfare Office was put in charge of this task. A process involving independent organizations, children, young people and their families is planned.

Child poverty encompasses not only financial and material conditions such as income, but also factors such as access to early childhood development, education, leisure opportunities or health and safety.
