One quarter of newborns in Antwerp is born into a family where Dutch is not the mother tongue, according to family organisation Kind en Gezin. Antwerp is already home to one in three of all children from economically disadvantaged families in Flanders, who account for one in ten of all children under the age of 12. Children born into families where Dutch is not spoken, Kind en Gezin said, face major challenges at school and later in the workplace.
