| Abstract: | "Children's Budget 2020" is the 14th annual release of this signature Children's Budget publication. While the COVID-19 health and economic crises have highlighted how important it is to put children and families at the forefront of budget decisions, far too often lawmakers fail to prioritize children when allocating federal resources. This year's "Children's Budget" includes, for the first time, a deeper analysis of how the federal budget impacts children in spending when it comes to the international affairs budget, which is spent across seven departments and agencies, including the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The report estimates the children's share of that spending at around 9 percent and finds that this funding is so limited it only reflects about 0.11 percent of the overall federal budget. This year's report details the persistence of an alarming trend: children continue to receive a smaller and smaller share of federal spending. Policymakers must take action to change course and correct this inequity. [This report received additional support from the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund and the GHR Foundation.
