The first analysis describes the percentage of the child population in each country considered
vulnerable in each of the five categories.of deprivation. Then, analyses are presented separately by the
child’s sex, region of residence, and the sex and age of the head of household. Finally, changes over time
are calculated for countries that have data from two data collection years. All data were weighted to
ensure that nationally representative estimates were obtained. All analyses were conducted using Stata/SE
13. There may be trivial discrepancies in the percentages between tables because of rounding.

Third, tables present the prevalence of each component of the specific deprivation by the sex and age of
