Figure 6, for example, shows the proportion of children in each country who lack 2,3, 4 and 5 or more of the 14 items. The findings of this table will be considered under the heading Assessing government performance (p. 19). It has been suggested, for example, that a single measure of child poverty might be constructed by counting as poor only those children who are poor under both definitions - i.e. those who lack two or more of the items on the deprivation index and who live in households where incomes are less than 50% of the national median.
