Child Deprivation Indicators: Analyzing Disadvantage in China's Context

This presentation outlines the application of Child Deprivation Indicators (CDI) in China, focusing on the concept and measurement of deprivation among children. It discusses a survey conducted in Beijing in 2011 involving 600 households, with a high response rate, to assess multidimensional deprivation across six dimensions: diet, clothing, housing, household facilities, education, and social interaction. The study found a child deprivation rate of 18.5%, linking it to the Dibao social assistance scheme. Future work will address weighting issues and the association between deprivation levels and income.

  2. Outline of Presentation • Deprivation concept and background • Project • Results • Conclusions • Future work plans

  3. Deprivation concept and background • Deprivation Indicators: relative poverty measure • Deprivation may be defined as a state of observable and demonstrable disadvantage relative to the local community or the wider society or nation to which an individual, family or group belongs. (Townsend, 1987) • Non-monetary: not money, but goods and activities • Direct: actual living standard • Multidimensional • Widely adopted among European Countries • Not yet employed in China

  4. Deprivation concept and background • Socially perceived necessities (Mack& Lansley, 1980s): population decide, not researcher • Enforcedlack(Mack& Lansley, 1980s): two-question survey format • 1. do you have…? • 2. if no, is it because economic constrain?

  5. Project • Family and child survey of Bejing in 2011 • Child Deprivation Indicators: school age children • Sample: 600 households with 1 or more children • Response rate: 93%(558)

  6. Project: Constructing procedure

  7. Results • 34 items maintained • 6 dimensions: diet(2), clothing(4), housing(10), household facilities(4), education(8), social interaction(6) • Supporting rates: ranged from 67.7 %(inviting friend home at least once every month) to 98.4%(good condition of ventilation)

  8. Results: Necessity list

  11. Results : deprivation rate(Beijing) • Threshold: >=3 • Deprivation rate: 18.5%

  12. Results : Deprivation and Dibao • Dibao: Minimum Living Standard Guarantee Scheme • Social Assistant scheme of China • Criticized by low assistance level • Low coverage: ~3 per cent • Percentage in sample: 12.2%(68)

  13. Results : Deprivation and Dibao

  14. Conclusion • Deprivation and Dibao: significantly linked but not perfectly overlapped • Use these two measures cooperatively in practice

  15. Future work plans • Weighting issue: weighted deprivation score, to indicate different deprivation severities and to facilitate comparison. • Association of deprivation and income
