Households allocate resources according to dynamic rules that consider age, gender, kinship and labor market participation. Parents and the unemployed are the most likely to experience deprivation. Extended co-residency is a helpful but limited strategy to reduce child poverty: extended households are more likely to protect children, but also to be poorer. The prioritization of children is nearly universal, with no evidence of an association between income or education and the prioritization of children. Individual deprivation data provide valuable information on intra-household inequality.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journal of Poverty on 2022, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/10875549.2022.2065561.info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10875549.2022.2065561Child povertyDeprivationIntra-household inequalityPovertyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
