Child well-being is multidimensional and inequality in intrahousehold resource allocation is evident. Yet, there is scant evidence linking inequality-adjusted monetary, nutritional and multidimensional measures of child well-being. After identifying children as money-poor using resource shares adjusting inequality in intrahousehold resource allocation, this study extends the traditional multidimensional deprivation index by including a monetary dimension. It then looks at the overlaps between those well-being measures. Using the 2013/14 Ethiopian Living Standard Measurement Study data, we find that multidimensional child deprivation is high and varies with demography and geography. The probability of falling into multidimensional deprivation and average intensity of it increase with the number of children. Indices for urban children rise when a monetary indicator is included. Although stunted and multidimensionally-deprived children concentrate more at the lower expenditure levels, there is evidence that the monetarily non-poor households still host deprived children. Depending on the type of poverty measure considered, 10% to a quarter of monetarily non-poor children are deprived multidimensionally. After controlling for child-, head-, household- and community-level effects, including shocks and common health effects, we find no evidence suggesting children’s nutrition is related to expenditures. Specifically, 60% of money-poor under-7 children and 46% living in money-poor households are not stunted while about two-thirds of stunted children are not found in the money-poorest 20 or 40% of children/households. Use of only monetary information to targeting is questioned.

儿童福祉是多维的，家庭内部资源分配的不平等是显而易见的。然而，很少有证据将不平等调整后的货币、营养和儿童福祉多维衡量指标联系起来。在使用资源份额调整家庭内部资源分配的不平等将儿童识别为穷人之后，本研究通过包括货币维度扩展了传统的多维剥夺指数。然后研究这些福利措施之间的重叠。使用 2013/14 年埃塞俄比亚生活标准测量研究数据，我们发现多维儿童剥夺程度很高，并且随着人口和地理而变化。陷入多维剥夺的概率和平均强度随着儿童数量的增加而增加。当包含货币指标时，城市儿童的指数会上升。尽管发育迟缓和多维贫困儿童更多地集中在较低的支出水平上，但有证据表明，经济不贫困的家庭仍然收容贫困儿童。根据所考虑的贫困衡量标准的类型，10% 到四分之一的非经济贫困儿童受到多方面的剥夺。在控制了儿童、头部、家庭和社区层面的影响（包括冲击和常见的健康影响）后，我们发现没有证据表明儿童的营养与支出有关。具体而言，60% 的 7 岁以下贫困儿童和 46% 生活在贫困家庭中的儿童没有发育迟缓，而大约三分之二的发育迟缓儿童没有出现在最贫困的 20 或 40% 的儿童/家庭中。
