3. Material and housing deprivation
One poverty indicator alone is rarely an adequate measure of deprivation. In addition to consumption poverty, this section addresses material and housing deprivation. Material deprivation is measured here as a household’s ownership of durable assets. The following items have been included in the analysis: car, cell phone, washing machine, TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, and iron. Table 4.3 shows the proportion of children living in households lacking each of these items, and Table 4.4 shows the proportion of children lacking a number of these items.
