the narrowness of the poverty rate of 7 to 14 years old, the poor children
within this age group contribute about 28.3% of the total child poverty.
Another approach to the issue of children in poverty is to focus on the
demographic and economic conditions of their households. Poverty
experienced in childhood is a social reproduction of adult poverty and a
consequence of poor living conditions.
Thus the number of children in the household notoriously makes a
difference on the children well-being. In 2014, the poverty rate has more than
quadrupling depending on whether the household has one child (6.5%) or 6
children and more (28.0%).

5. Intergenerational transmission of poverty: the socio-economic
situation of the household and especially parents have a strong impact
the child's destiny.
The head of household sex differently impacts the situation of children
with regard to poverty. In 2014, the poverty rate is 11.2% among children
whose head of household is a man, against 8.6% in Guiders’ children. Children
headed by women have a 3.1% chance to be among children little or no at all
deprived than their counterparts living in households headed by a man.
Education and knowledge are also proving essential determinants in
improving children's living standard. The level of household head education
has a central role in determining the level of child poverty: the incidence of
child poverty is 0.5% for children of households headed by a leader with a
higher education, against 16.4% of households headed by children without
school level.
The risk of multidimensional child poverty is strongly differentiated by the
head of household’s socio-professional category of. In 2014, the incidence of
child poverty is more marked among children in households headed by
"farmers", a 25.4%poverty rate, "farm workers and laborers and fishing"
(24.3%), "small trades" (11.3%) and "craftsmen and skilled workers" (8.9%). The
risk for a child to fall in poverty or vulnerable to poverty is 19.1% higher in
children "farm workers and laborers" than in children “managers and senior
managers".
