This article is part of the Eurostat online publication Living conditions providing statistics on material deprivation in the European Union (EU) with focus on intra-household sharing of the resources for 2014. The publication presents a brief analysis of several different material deprivation variables (as part of the 2014 EU-SILC ad-hoc module) which relate to the household (as a whole), adults (people aged 16 and over) and children (all household members aged between 1 and 15). Observed variables, among others, are related to financial stress and durables, and leisure and social activities as a broader perspective of social inclusion measurements.

Even though it is tempting to assume that a change in a household’s income will affect all its members to the same extent, reality could differ dramatically. Using only household level indicators and attribute them equally to each member of the household, could possibly lead to unobserved child poverty and child deprivation as well as of the other age- and gender-groups within the same household. In order to shed some light on the intra-household transfers and within-household differences in living conditions, the EU-SILC included a special ad-hoc material deprivation module (first time for 2009, and revised for 2014) which allows to observe this separately for different demographics.

The variables related to children’s items are collected for the whole group of children with one very specific rule: If at least one child does not have the item in question, the whole group of children in the household is assumed to not have the item either. On the other hand, information on basic needs, as well as leisure and social activities for adults is provided for each household member aged 16 and over.

Analyses used for the article cover all EU Member States and several non-EU Member States.
