COLACCE, Maira  e  TENENBAUM, Victoria. An analysis of the evolution of multidimensional Poverty among children and adolescents In Uruguay between 2006 and 2014. Estud. Econ. (México, D.F.) [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.2, pp.171-212. ISSN 0186-7202.

Based on the methodology proposed by Alkire and Foster, the objective of this paper is to estimate a multidimensional poverty index for children in Uruguay between 2006 and 2014. This allows the analysis of the reactions of non-monetary dimensions of wellbeing, in the context of an important increase of household income. The main results show a smaller reduction of the index compared to the monetary poverty, and stagnation in the last two years. This trend is largely explained by the dimensions of comfort and education.
