The importance of the analysis of different poverty approaches and their degree of overlap or mismatch in terms of outcomes has been acknowledged and emphasized by many scholars (see e.g. Klasen, 2000, Laderchi, 1997, Neubourg de, Roelen and Gassmann, 2009, Sahn and Stifel, 2003). Within the wider EU context, a number of studies have been undertaken to assess the degree of overlap or mismatch (e.g. Bradshaw and Finch, 2003, Coromaldi and Zoli, 2007, Dekkers, 2003, Richardson et al., No such studies, however, have been undertaken with a special focus on child poverty. Some financial poverty analyses might focus only on the overlap between the income poverty and financial strain domain labelling individuals with 'overlapping deprivations' as 'consistent-poor' (Forster, 2005, Nolan and Whelan, 2009), possibly serving as a proxy for chronic poverty patterns in the absence of panel data (Clark and Hulme, 2005, Hulme and McKay, 2008). Mismatch patterns could help to provide insight into the size of specific measurement errors or to gauge the differences between objective and subjective indicators of deprivation.
