This method is used to capture all the children who are deprived in any of the indicators that are part of the same dimension, as they have been selected to represent the fulfilment (or non-fulfilment) of the child's rights and basic needs attributed to the specific dimension. For this reason, MODA does not assign any explicit weights to dimensions when counting the deprivations each child suffers from. As explained above, although no explicit weights are used, implicitly equal weights are assigned. This method reveals exactly which deprivations children are facing, making the severity and overlap analysis more transparent.
