Sports clubs and computers for poor families
The government has allocated €80m to halve the number of children who are not members of a sports club or music school or do not have a computer at home because their families are too poor.
According to Labour MP Hans Spekman, some 300,000 children in the Netherlands are growing up in poverty.
