Child Poverty in Armenia
Aug 2016
Working Paper
This report provides the first comprehensive national estimates of multidimensional child poverty in Armenia measured using UNICEF’s Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) methodology. Dimensions and indicators for three age groups (0-5 6-14 and 15-17) were selected as the result of a broad consultative process with key stakeholders convened by UNICEF Armenia. Based on nationally representative data from the Armenian Integrated Living Conditions Survey 2013/14 the study finds that 64 per cent of children under 18 are deprived in 2 or more dimensions with a substantially higher rate in rural than in urban areas. The highest rates of deprivation are in access to utilities quality housing and leisure activities. More than one in four children are both multidimensionally deprived and live in consumption-poor households while more than one in three are deprived but do not live in poor households. The findings suggest that to target the most vulnerable children policies should concentrate on closing the rural/urban divide in infrastructure and on strengthening social safety nets especially in rural areas.
