The EU data also enable a comparison of estimates based on monetary and non-monetary
poverty. Figure 5 charts relative income poverty and child-specific material deprivation in
2021.16 There is a moderate-to-strong association,17 but:
→ Bulgaria (BG), Cyprus (CY), Greece (GR) and Romania (RO) have much higher levels of
deprivation than might be expected from their rates of income poverty.
→ On the other hand, rates of deprivation in Italy (IT) and Luxembourg (LU) are closer
to the EU average than would be expected from their income poverty rates.
This comparison shows that measuring income and non-monetary poverty can lead to
different conclusions.
