It should be noted that Figure 7-10 only indicates the deprivation incidence of girls with a given characteristic, it does not identify the causes of the actual deprivations as the underlying cause might not be included in the figure. Identification ofthe multidimensionally deprived uses thresholds specific to the age group, namely being deprived if having at least four out of seven possible dimensions (K=4) for children in the first and second age group, and having at least three out of six deprivations (K=3) for children in the third and fourth age group. The multidimensional deprivation rate for all children up to 17 years consists of the average rate of the four age groups weighted by the respective child population shares.
