CBS: almost 7 percent of children grow up at risk of poverty

Of the 891,000 people from a household with an income below the low-income threshold, almost a quarter (209,000) were minors last year. This means that 6.6 percent of all children live at risk of poverty. That is a slight decrease compared to a year earlier. At that time it was still 6.8 percent (218,000).
