Working Paper Series
Child Poverty: Concept And Measurement

 

Author: Ali Abdel Gadir Ali
Series: API/WPS0701
Language: English
Publisher: Arab Planning Institute - Kuwait
Description:

Following a review of the most important approaches to the study of poverty the paper shows that child poverty is defined as severe deprivation in two or more basic needs of food, water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. Like all other quantitative approaches the study of child poverty requires specifying thresholds for severe deprivation for each of the basic needs, on the basis of which observations are aggregated to arrive at the percentage of children under 18 years living in poverty. The reviewed evidence shows that 40% of Arab children seem to have lived in absolute poverty over the period 1991-2001, a performance worse than the average for the developing world

بعد استعراض أهم طرق دراسة الفقر توضح هذه الورقة أن فقر الأطفال يُقصد به حالة من الحرمان الشديد في اثنين أو أكثر من الاحتياجات الأساسية للحياة وذلك في مجالات الغذاء، والمياه النقية، والصرف الصحي، والصحة، والمسكن، والتعليم، والمعلومات. وتوضح الورقة أن قياس الفقر في أوساط الأطفال يعتمد، مثله مثل الطرق الكمية الأخرى، على تحديد مستويات حرجة لكل مجال ومن ثم تجميع المشاهدات للحصول على نسبة الأطفال (بمعنى أولئك تحت سن 18) الذين يعيشون في حالة فقر. وتوضح الشواهد التطبيقية التي تمّ استعراضها أن 40% من الأطفال في الدول العربية كانوا يعيشون في حالة فقر مطلق خلال الفترة 1991-2001، مما يعكس وضعاً أسوأ من ذلك لمتوسط الدول النامية.
