Child poverty can be measured using monetary and multidimensional approaches, and both measurements are required under SDG monitoring.
Monetary measures count children as poor if they’re living in households below a set poverty line.
Multidimensional measures can provide a fuller picture of poverty as they capture non-income aspects of poverty such as malnutrition, ill health and poor living conditions
