Abstract: This paper analyzes to what extent household financial regime, in terms of level of income pooling and decision-making responsibilities, is associated with different levels of household deprivation. We conclude that either pooling incomes and sharing decisions or not pooling income and female making decisions are associated with low deprivation levels. We identify household characteristics that are frequently associated with them such as higher household income levels, middle-aged households and not being in a legal consensual union. Not pooling income and sharing decisions is related to higher levels of deprivation, being associated with dual-earner, higher income levels and not old-aged households.
