Nearly a third of Toronto children live in poverty, according to a new report

145,890

—The number of Toronto children (that is, people aged 0 to 17) who, as of two years ago, lived in what the federal government would consider “low-income” households. (That’s 29 per cent of the city’s under-18 population.) This figure is the centrepiece of a new report on child poverty published by a coalition of local social-services organizations.
