Highlights
The aim of this report is to provide an estimation of multidimensional child deprivation in Greece using the Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) developed by UNICEF.
It uses 7 dimensions of deprivations, corresponding to important domains for children: Dwelling, Sanitation, Leisure, Education, Information, Nutrition, and Health. Indicators of deprivation are defined differently for children of different ages. Multidimensional Deprivation is defined as children being deprived in 2 or more deprivations.
Multidimensional deprivation affects 34% of children in Greece. The most important correlates of multidimensional Deprivation for children are 1) living in a family in the bottom 40% of the income distribution, 2) living in a single-parent family, 3) living in a large family (3 or more children), and 4) being a child of immigrant parents (extra EU). Place of residence and gender play no significant effect, while age has a small effect, as older children are less likely to be deprived.
