All you Need is..Measuring Children's Perceptions and Experiences of Deprivation (Summary)

Abstract

The research conducted by the Children’s Research Centre (TCD) was undertaken in order to examine deprivation from a child’s perspective - what children need, what they have, and what they have to go without due to a lack of money. This culminated in a set of items that children identify as necessities for all children, regardless of their parents’ income, and subsequently the creation of a child specific deprivation index.
