Including age-specific indicators is beneficial, because it gives the possibility of including more appropriate indicators in the analysis than only including aspects which are relevant for all children. It can also illustrate the differences in the needs of the children, and can therefore be more specific in what the children are deprived of; Analysing different age-groups of children separately and choosing indicators that are relevant for each age-group is what MODA calls the life-cycle approach (Claeson and Waldman, 2000; UNICEF, 2011). For the children under 5 years the analysis includes dimensions on nutrition and health, while the later age-group concentrates on education and access to information.
