> Exacerbating the learning crisis: 188 coun-tries have imposed countrywide school closures, affecting more than 1.5 billion children and youth. All of this is affecting children in multiple ways: > Falling into poverty: An estimated 42-66 million children could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the crisis this year, adding to the estimated 386 million chil-dren already in extreme poverty in 2019. There are three main channels through which children are affected by this crisis: infection with the virus itself the immediate socioeconomic impacts of measures to stop transmission of the virus and end the pandemic and the poten-tial longer-term effects of delayed implemen-tation of the Sustainable Development Goals. They are expected to be most damag-ing for children in the poorest countries, and in the poorest neighbourhoods, and for those in already disadvan-taged or vulnerable situations. Moreover, the harmful effects of this pandemic will not be distributed equally. This is a universal crisis and, for some children, the impact will be lifelong. All children, of all ages, and in all countries, are being affected, in partic-ular by the socio-economic impacts and, in some cases, by mitigation measures that may inadvertently do more harm than good. While they have thankfully been largely spared from the direct health effects of COVID-19 - at least to date the crisis is having a profound effect on their wellbeing. But they risk being among its big-gest victims. Policy Brief:The Impact of COVID-19 on children 15 A P R IL 20 20 Children are not the face of this pan-demic.
