Description
This report presents the first scientific measurement of child poverty in developing regions. Based on internationally agreed definitions of child rights, it uses survey data from nearly 1.2 million children in 46 countries to construct indicators of severe deprivation.
The largest and most accurate sample of children ever assembled, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the extent and depth of child poverty worldwide. The findings are based on a range of basic human needs, including shelter, sanitation, safe water, information, health, education, and food.
