The Commission should encourage transparency and reporting by Member States
on the amounts they spend on policies that fight child poverty and promote
children’s social rights.
The indicators used for monitoring the implementation of the Pillar of Social rights
should contain at least one indicator specifically on the situation of children .
The Commission and Member States should be committed to assessing all
economic, employment, social and environmental policies for their li kely impact on
child poverty.
The EU should improve the qua lity and availability of data on the living conditions
