Where in Rotterdam lives in poverty a quarter of youth, is that less than 10 percent in the province of Utrecht.Those differences are found mainly in the composition of the population. Poverty is greatest in people with welfare benefits. They live mainly in large cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in the northern provinces and in South Limburg.

More and more parents knocking for help for their children at funds. The National Children's Fund expects this year's 10 percent more applications, the same growth as last year. Where the Association Leergeld still supported 68 619 children in 2014, expects Director Gaby van den Biggelaar that there are nearly 84,000 this year.

"If small children have the feeling they do not belong, they isolate themselves, they do not take friends home, they can not give a game and they are not invited themselves. Then there is an atmosphere of "we do not belong," and an anti-stance may occur. You pay later society as money for. "
