Abstract: Childhood poverty and well-being are distinct from adult poverty and well‐being both in quality and quantity. A 3‐dimensional well‐being approach is a means to capture that distinctiveness in a holistic way and thus complement more traditional ways of conceptualising and measuring child poverty and well‐being. This paper discusses what a 3‐dimensional (3‐D) well‐being approach contributes to understanding child poverty and child agency. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
