World ranking for public social expenditure on children

ILO Report. World Social Protection Report 2014-15: Building economic recovery, inclusive development and social justice.

"Under-investment in the social protection needs of children is particularly critical in low-income countries, which on average allocate less than 0.1 per cent of their GDP to child and family benefits. This points to a significant under-investment in children which is likely to have negative effects on the future productivity of these countries' workforce, and their future economic and social development prospects."

Public social protection expenditure on child and family benefits (excluding health), 2010/11 (percentage of GDP).
