The digital world is full of opportunity, but disadvantaged children are less likely to benefit thanks to inequalities in their lives.
We + @LSEnews reviewed digital inclusion policies from 17 countries and asked: how well do they serve these children?

The outlook for 2023 is shaped by ‘polycrisis.’
The impacts of COVID-19, war, high energy prices, inflation, climate change and food insecurity are taking a toll on children.
This demands a coordinated effort to protect children’s futures. unicef.org/blog/outlook-2023…
