When we have the second-highest child poverty rate in the developed world!
In a UNICEF study, the United States ranked 34th out of the developed world's 35 countries by child poverty rates, above only Romania. The poor US showing in this data may reflect growing income inequality.
According to one metric of inequality, the US economy is one of the most unequal in the developed world. This would explain why the United States, on child poverty, is ranked between Bulgaria and Romania, though Americans are on average six times richer than Bulgarians and Romanians.
