Multidimensional child poverty measuring methodologies: regional case studies, Deepak Kumar (UNICEF)

Presentation will cover the importance of multidimensional approach and specifically child deprivations and illustrate the experience of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Belarus in development of multidimensional child poverty indices. Analysis will include empirical justification of correlation between monetary and multidimensional child poverty, providing the evidence that children living in non-poor households with sufficient level of income may still experience multiple deprivations, moreover there is a share of children from both monetary and multidimensionally poor households that require specific social protection measures.
