The scale performance is very good for the pooled data (all the countries) and also works well for most of the countries separately. These results are broken down for various subgroups in the population demonstrating that in all countries, children with lone parents, children living in large families, children in families wherein the adults are not employed and/or having lower levels of education are more likely to experience deprivation. In countries with a high number of children living in households where at least one of the parents is a migrant, deprivation rates are found to be very high for this specific group of children. Many of the countries in the sample have comparable levels of living standards but show significant differences in the levels of child deprivation. Two findings illustrate the areas for possible policy intervention.
