Percentage of children deprived in 2+ non-income dimensions of poverty

Definition:

• Percentage of children deprived in 2+ non-income dimensions of poverty refers to the proportion of children experiencing disadvantages in two or more aspects of life, beyond just income. It goes beyond the traditional one-dimensional view of poverty based solely on financial means.
• Non-income dimensions of poverty: These are factors affecting a child's well-being besides income. Examples include access to education, healthcare, sanitation, nutrition, and safe living conditions.
• Deprived: This indicates a lack or insufficiency in a particular dimension. For instance, a child lacking access to proper sanitation facilities would be considered deprived in that dimension.
• 2+ non-income dimensions: This specifies that the focus is on children facing challenges in at least two of these non-income aspects.
• This metric highlights the complexity of child poverty, recognizing that income limitations are often accompanied by other deprivations that can significantly impact a child's development and future prospects.
