Abstract
Over the last few years, there has been increased interest in compiling
poverty indicators for children, as well as in providing uncertainty measures associated
with point estimates. In this paper, we provide child point and bootstrapped
relative standard error estimates for the At-risk-of-poverty Rate and Gini coefficient
for Mediterranean countries. Using the 2018 EU-SILC survey, our results show that
for these categories, poverty tends to be higher when compared to the national estimates
for most of the analysed countries.
