Tbilisi. Welfare Monitoring Study is a biennial household survey covering all the government-controlled regions of Georgia. The results for the 2015 round examined the prevalence and distribution of consumption poverty, material deprivation, subjective poverty and social exclusion.  

''Every fifth child lives under poverty and every sixth child lives under subsistence minimum; despite the increase in families’ consumption, people’s income has not changed; poor children still have less chances to attend education institutions than their peers living in richer families – these are some of the findings of the UNICEF’s Welfare Monitoring Study that has been unveiled today'', is noted in the statement.
