Published 14 October 2025
123 countries ranked in 2025, with comparison scores recomputed for 2000, 2008 and 2016.
What the publisher changed
- Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe recomputes its whole history each edition, so the earlier figures here are the current ones for those years, not the numbers printed at the time.
Coverage
123 countries ranked in 2025, with comparison scores recomputed for 2000, 2008 and 2016.
Limitations
The publisher recomputes every earlier year on the current method, so these scores are not the ones printed in past editions. Three of the four components measure children only. The Government of India disputes the methodology.
