UNICEF State of the World’s Children 2025: Child Poverty and Health

UNICEF’s 2025 flagship report, Ending child poverty, examines poverty as a constraint on children’s rights and wellbeing. It provides global context for health, nutrition and social policy, rather than a dedicated Nepal prevalence survey.

The publisher is UNICEF. This article covers the 2025 edition and links to the official publication information below. PHC-Nepal’s summary is independent; listing a report is not an institutional endorsement.

Income poverty and multidimensional deprivation answer related but different questions. Check the age definition, poverty threshold, dimensions and reference period before comparing sources. Household-level deprivation does not establish an individual child’s medical diagnosis.

Reference period: Source- and country-specific periods. Keep this period separate from the release label, 2025 edition. This article verifies report scope and publication information; it does not claim an exhaustive review of every table.

Use the report to frame integrated social protection, nutrition and WASH discussions. Pair its global argument with Nepal-specific MICS, living-standards or census tables. Name the dimension being measured rather than using ‘poverty’ as an undefined combined health indicator.

Begin with a defined planning or research question. Record the population, geographic level, unit, source table and uncertainty for every selected figure. Separate descriptive evidence from causal claims and avoid presenting aggregate estimates as individual clinical advice.

Cite UNICEF, the report title and 2025 edition, then add the relevant table, indicator and observation period. Use the official link below for the complete publication and any corrections.

This collection is updated through editorial source review. No background ingestion or automatic release monitoring is enabled. A newer edition should be checked before it replaces an older reference, and archived articles remain clearly dated for reproducibility.
