Condiciones de vida y pobreza multidimensionalun marco para el análisis del bienestar de la infancia en España

Abstract

The article describes the living conditions of children in poverty in Spain from a multidimen­sional perspective. To this end, we perform an approximation of each of the dimensions, components, and indicators of child wellbeing based on secondary data from statistical sourc­es and reports from entities and agencies linked to the study of poverty. The results indicate that children with fewer resources have higher levels of deprivation compared to those with higher incomes. This analysis highlights the impact of economy poverty on their daily lives but needs to be combined with other indicators that ex­amine well-being from a multidimensional ap­proach to address the different manifestations of poverty in its complexity. It concludes with a reference to the need to promote specific poli­cies that consider the rights of children.
