Children in monetary poor households and multidimensional child poverty

Abstract: Four waves of Nigerian General Household Surveys and Nigerian Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey data from 2010 through 2019 have been analyzed to provide evidence on the large heterogeneity of the estimates across regions for all dimensions (except for severe food deprivation) as well as for children in monetary poor households. The overlap between these two groups has also been analyzed. Remarkably, about half of the monetary non-poor children at the top of the consumption distribution still face at least one severe deprivation. The role of parents’ education in the intergenerational transmission of poverty is also explored.
