• Spain leads the table of European countries in inherited poverty, seriously affecting child rearing.
• 20% of people raised by parents with low educational levels are poor as adults.
• 34.5% of Spanish minors are at risk of social exclusion, almost 10 points above the European average.
• The difficulties of the most vulnerable families in areas such as education and job insertion has worsened with the generation that spent its childhood during the 2008 crisis.
• The government has failed in implementing a universal child support, a measure present in every Eurozone country.

Conclusion: Spain cannot afford high levels of poverty, not just because of the associated injustice and inequality, but also due to the loss of human capital in the job market.
