Resumen:
Though a general acknowledgment exists regarding the advantages that child-welfare measurement through multidimensional methods offers (Thorbecke, 2007; UNICEF, 2011), the cutting points (thresholds) implicit in the methodology are still object of significant debates (de Neubourg et al., 2013). Both the dimensions for the measurement and the definition of specific thresholds are far from being suitable approaches to be applied in upper-middle income countries. Added to this are the considerations regarding the size of households, their composition, as well as scale economies present within the households when monetary poverty is analyzed (Newhouse, 2016).
