“…Though a few have studied the distribution between parents and children (see e.g. Main and Bradshaw, 2016; Bárcena Martín et al , 2017), most studies focus on the intra‐couple distribution (as we will do below), covering different aspects. Some investigate the ways in which a couple's finances are managed and controlled, while others have studied individual consumption or living standards of wives and husbands within couples (see Bennett, 2013, for a review).…”

In standard poverty analyses, all household members are assumed to share equal living conditions. Though a few national studies exist, this paper is the first to present empirical evidence on this issue for the EU, using the 2015 wave of the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions. We map the extent of intra‐couple inequality in deprivation, and analyze its determinants. We find that for most items, the gender difference in lack between partners, though generally small, is significant and at the disadvantage of women. When aggregating the individual items into a deprivation scale, couples where the number of enforced lacks is higher for the woman (9.2 percent) are (significantly) more numerous than couples where the man is disadvantaged (6.5 percent), at the EU level. Econometric analysis shows that the work status of the partners and their relative contribution to the joint income are important determinants of the intra‐couple gender deprivation gap.

“…Each of these dimensions stands for one of our dependent variables for child deprivation. In general, the majority of studies on European level usually aggregate all the child deprivation items provided by the EU-SILC into one sole variable, which facilitates the interpretation of deprivation as well as comparison between countries, years or collectives (Bárcena-Martín et al., 2017a , b ; Guio et al., 2020 ). Despite this, we have chosen to distinguish between different types of child deprivation, as this allows us to take into account the multidimensional nature of deprivation and to identify areas that may be more affected by the increase of single parenthood amongst women with a lower educational level in Italy and Spain.…”

“…Apart from the main explanatory variables, and in a similar way to previous works, we also include a set of control variables (Bárcena-Martín et al., 2017a , b ; Chzhen & Bradshaw, 2012 ). Firstly, we consider some characteristics of parents such as age (classified in four categories according to the age of the household’s oldest parent: older than 50, between 41 and 50, between 31 and 40, and 30 or younger) and country of birth (immigrant and non-immigrant parents).…”

“…On the basis of previous considerations, the idea that the education of mothers at the head of single-parent households is a key variable for the study of child deprivation, understood as a lack of goods and services necessary for the well-being and correct development of children (Bárcena-Martín et al., 2017a ; Chzhen & de Neubourg, 2014 ), is reinforced. Moreover, it is also relevant for establishing the existing differences between Italy and Spain.…”

This work examines whether the increase of single parenthood in Italy and Spain, specifically amongst women in an unfavourable socioeconomic position, has repercussions for child well-being, understood here as material deprivation. In particular, our main objective is to analyse the possible differential impact of single parenthood on children’s material deprivation in relation to mothers’ level of education. Using the 2014 EU-SILC Module on material deprivation, we identify five areas of child deprivation based on the EU-MODA approach: nutrition, clothing, education, leisure, and social life. In the case of Italy, our main results indicate that, compared to children from two-parent households, children of single mothers with a low level of education have a higher risk of nutrition and clothing deprivation. In Spain, living in a single-parent household is associated with a higher risk of deprivation in terms of social life for those children whose mothers do not have a high level of education. Therefore, the findings suggest that in both countries the growth of single parenthood amongst women with a lower educational level may have an impact on child well-being inequality. This article contributes empirical data to the growing literature on the rise of child poverty in Southern European countries.

“…(Knies 2011;Rees et al 2011). Currently, studies have revealed that children's perceptions of material deprivation are related with subjective well-being (Bradshaw et al 2017;Bárcena-Martín et al 2017;Main 2018), suggesting that the child-centric method is more effective than the adult-centric method in predicting subjective well-being of children.…”

Child subjective well-being is determined by various personal, social, and contextual factors. Few studies have found reliable differences in the prediction power of these factors; however, the results vary especially when it comes to sociodemographic factors, such as the effect of child’s socioeconomic background on life satisfaction. This paper examines how poverty and social relationships affect the perceived life satisfaction of Finnish schoolchildren. Drawing on survey data of Finnish schoolchildren, from grades 5, 7, and 9 (n = 1793), linear regression was used to test how life satisfaction would be associated with socio-demographic variables, poverty, and child–parent and peer relationships. The results emphasize the complex nature of the determinants of children’s life satisfaction. The greatest unique contribution for change of life satisfaction was made by the time spent with mother (β(p) = 0.189). Overall, the model showed a good fit (R2 19.9). These findings have important implications for family policies and services that promote good parenting and positive parent–child relationships. Furthermore, this study highlights relational well-being as a key determinant of children’s life satisfaction.
