19 lakh Indian kids lost at least one parent to Covid, highest in world, says Lancet
The modelling study estimates at least 52 lakh children under age 18 years have experienced the death of at least a parent or caregiver due to Covid.
An additional 18.3 lakh children were hit by the death of a grandparent or older adult caregiver living in their home.
Globally, over 33 lakh children have been orphaned due to loss of at least one parent between March 1, 2020 to October 30, 2021.
Calculations of estimated orphanhood cases per 1,000 children showed highest rates in Peru (8.3) and South Africa (7.2) per 1,000 children.
Findings of the study show large differences in the total number of orphaned children across the 20 study countries, ranging from 2,400 in Germany to 19.2 lakh in India.
Of the 20 countries studied, India accounted for the highest number of children orphaned by Covid-associated death of at least one of their parents during the period.
