holistic concept, which includes the physical, mental, spiritual, moral, psychological and social development of the child” and that “implementation measures should aim at achieving optimal development for all children”144. Or, children have different needs at different stages of their growth and development. Thus, in its budgetary decisions, the State should take into account all the factors necessary for children of different ages to survive, grow and develop. The State should show its commitment to children's rights by making visible parts of their budgets that affect children of different age groups. The Children's Ombudsman argues that investing in early childhood development can have a positive impact on children's ability to exercise their rights, break the cycle of poverty and bring great economic benefits in the near future. Underinvestment in children's development in the early years can be detrimental to their cognitive development and can reinforce the existing gaps, inequalities and aggravate intergenerational poverty. Therefore, ensuring the right to life, survival and development includes the need to take into account budgets for different groups of children in the current generation, taking into account future generations by developing sustainable multiyear income and expenditure projections. In the light of the above, the Ombudsman encourages government authorities to create or strengthen the existing policies to protect future generations. Ensuring sustainable development requires improving the quality of life that future generations will enjoy and, as adaptation to sustainable lifestyles brings together, the rights of future generations and their well-being must become a primary need of today's authorities / people.
