This article investigates the distributionof child poverty and the existence of horizontal inequalities overa variety of groups in Vietnam using a multitude of poverty measures.Findings suggest that the burden of child poverty is unequally sharedby demographic and socio-economic groups. Conclusions about thedegree of inequality and the groups that are disproportionately affecteddepend on the poverty indicator used for analysis. The set of povertyindicators provides complementary information to gain an in-depth understandingof the distribution of child poverty in Vietnam. ER -
