Research analysing the material well-being and monetary poverty simultaneously has found strong, but far from complete, correlation between the two (e.g., Perry, 2002, Roelen and Notten, 2011, Roelen et al, 2011, Bradshaw et al., The identification of the monetary poor individuals and those who are deprived of the basic goods and services necessary for their survival and development can lead to better understanding of the situation people are faced with, and therefore to better targeted and more effective policy responses. Similarly, it has been recognised that it is necessary to make a distinction between household poverty and child poverty, acknowledging that children may experience poverty differently to adults and that people's needs differ depending on their age.
