Roelen, Gassmann, and de Neubourg (2011)28 compare child poverty outcomes in Vietnam on the basis of an absolute monetary approach with a country-specific multidimensional approach that aims to be a direct measure of child poverty beyond economic resources. The degree of overlap between the two methods of identification was found to be limited. The analysis also reveals that targeting of policies on the basis of monetary poverty potentially has unfavourable effects for those identified as multidimensionally poor, and vice versa.
