Deprived or not deprived? Comparing the measured extent of material deprivation using the UK government’s and the Poverty and Social Exclusion surveys’ method of calculating material deprivation

Do changes in objective and subjective family income predict change in children's diets over time? Unique insights using a longitudinal cohort study and fixed effects analysis

“…As discussed previously, income poverty and subjective poverty correlate but do not directly overlap 43. When a family experiences a reduction in income, the use of resources previously accumulated can delay subjective poverty 44. Likewise, intrafamilial transfer of resources, where family income is not equally distributed among family members, may result in divergent feelings on the ability to cope on present income between parents 45.…”

“…Subjective and objective poverty do not overlap directly due to the lagged effect of income poverty on living standards 44. However, there is a clear relationship between objective measures of deprivation and subjective deprivation 47 48.…”

Does Administrative Data Reflect Individual Experience? Comparing an Index of Poverty with Individually Collected Data on Financial Well-being in a Multi-Ethnic Community

“…Overall, only six out the twelve questions were considered as essential by an accepted threshold of >50 per cent of raters (McKay, 2011). We did not weight items according to perceived necessity as this method has been shown to be of little advantage (Treanor, 2014). We assume that the relationship between the items, necessity and poverty are the same for women of different ethnic groups, but have little evidence to substantiate this assumption.…”

Avoiding Material Hardship: The Buffer Function of Wealth

“…The empirical literature on material deprivation has been expanding since the late 20th century (Townsend 1979;Mayer and Jencks 1989;Ringen 1988), but institutional support for multidimensional measures of poverty has produced a more robust empirical literature on material deprivation in Europe (Nolan and Whelan 2011) and sustained efforts to refine these measures (Guio et al 2016). As a result, scholars have made strides in understanding the links between material deprivation in Europe and working poverty (Crettaz 2015), welfare state generosity (Saltkjel and Malmberg-Heimonen 2017;Nelson 2012), and wealth (Aittomaki et al 2010;Christoph 2010;Loktieva 2016), and have forcefully pointed out the inadequacy of incomeonly measures of poverty (Treanor 2014). Our contribution seeks to expand on the existing, and smaller, U.S. literature on material hardship.…”
