The study aims at estimating multidimensional poverty groups among children under five years of age in Mexico. Our analysis is based upon the framework on the Rights of the Child. For this purpose, we focus on identifying different types of child deprivation and the various risk factors that determine child poverty in Mexico, such as the type of locality, ethnicity and the region of Mexico where children live, among others. The study is based on the theoretical notion that children must realize their specific rights, established in the Mexican legal framework, in order to achieve an adequate standard of living and guarantee the well-being and development of children. For this reason, child development has been included as one of the analytical dimensions of poverty, because this has been often discarded in child poverty studies. We support the idea that any violation of social rights means deprivation. The method applied in this research is a conditional latent class analysis and we use covariates which have helped for better predicting the average probabilities of experiencing deprivations in each latent class. Thus, the main objective of the study is to identify groups of children experiencing extreme, moderate and no poverty. The results show that children under five years in Mexico, belonging to the poorest stratum have represented about twenty percent; however, fifty percent of them have experienced moderate poverty and only thirty percent are non-poor. We conclude that universal and targeted policies should be implemented to eradicate multidimensional child poverty.

基于儿童权利的方法中的多维儿童贫困:估计墨西哥儿童贫困群体的潜在阶级分析

该研究旨在估计墨西哥五岁以下儿童的多维贫困群体。我们的分析基于儿童权利框架。为此,我们专注于确定不同类型的儿童剥夺以及决定墨西哥儿童贫困的各种风险因素,例如地方类型、种族和儿童居住的墨西哥地区等。该研究基于儿童必须实现其在墨西哥法律框架中确立的特定权利的理论概念,以实现适当的生活水平并保证儿童的福祉和发展。出于这个原因,儿童发展已被纳入贫困的分析维度之一,因为这在儿童贫困研究中经常被丢弃。我们支持任何违反社会权利都意味着剥夺的观点。本研究中应用的方法是条件潜在类别分析,我们使用协变量有助于更好地预测每个潜在类别中经历剥夺的平均概率。因此,该研究的主要目标是确定经历极端贫困、中等贫困和无贫困的儿童群体。结果表明,墨西哥五岁以下儿童属于最贫困阶层,约占百分之二十;然而,其中 50% 的人经历过中度贫困,只有 30% 是非贫困人口。我们的结论是,应该实施普遍和有针对性的政策来消除多维儿童贫困。本研究中应用的方法是条件潜在类别分析,我们使用协变量有助于更好地预测每个潜在类别中经历剥夺的平均概率。因此,该研究的主要目标是确定经历极端贫困、中等贫困和无贫困的儿童群体。结果表明,墨西哥五岁以下儿童属于最贫困阶层,约占百分之二十;然而,其中 50% 的人经历过中度贫困,只有 30% 是非贫困人口。我们的结论是,应该实施普遍和有针对性的政策来消除多维儿童贫困。本研究中应用的方法是条件潜在类别分析,我们使用协变量有助于更好地预测每个潜在类别中经历剥夺的平均概率。因此,该研究的主要目标是确定经历极端贫困、中等贫困和无贫困的儿童群体。结果表明,墨西哥五岁以下儿童属于最贫困阶层,约占百分之二十;然而,其中 50% 的人经历过中度贫困,只有 30% 是非贫困人口。我们的结论是,应该实施普遍和有针对性的政策来消除多维儿童贫困。该研究的主要目标是确定处于极端贫困、中等贫困和无贫困状态的儿童群体。结果表明,墨西哥五岁以下儿童属于最贫困阶层,约占百分之二十;然而,其中 50% 的人经历过中度贫困,只有 30% 是非贫困人口。我们的结论是,应该实施普遍和有针对性的政策来消除多维儿童贫困。该研究的主要目标是确定处于极端贫困、中等贫困和无贫困状态的儿童群体。结果表明,墨西哥五岁以下儿童属于最贫困阶层,约占百分之二十;然而,其中 50% 的人经历过中度贫困,只有 30% 是非贫困人口。我们的结论是,应该实施普遍和有针对性的政策来消除多维儿童贫困。
