Abstract

The chapter presents Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs), particularly in the social domain, with a focus on education. It connects the research to global and European policy agendas, such as the UN 2030 Agenda and EU Sustainable Development Goals monitoring. Poverty is defined as living in households with income below the poverty line, which often results in material deprivation, limited access to education, and social exclusion. In the EU context, poverty is measured by indicators such as the at-risk-of-poverty rate, severe material deprivation, and low work intensity, based on EU-SILC data. Education is considered both a personal asset and a social factor, represented by indicators such as tertiary education attainment, early school leaving, continuing education, and adult educational attainment, monitored by Eurostat. This study examines the role of education in reducing child poverty in the EU. The chapter uses statistical analysis, focusing on non-linear regression. Eurostat data are used for the year 2022. The relationship between educational attainment and child poverty in EU regions is estimated. These results have policy implications for stakeholders who aim to reduce child poverty through improved education.
