Neste artigo pretende-se contribuir para a validação e interpretação da escala do índice
de exposição da criança à privação material no domicílio com base na amostra portuguesa do EU-
-Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-Silc) de 2017. O índice foi desenvolvido a partir de
itens do questionário dos domicílios por meio da aplicação de um modelo da teoria da resposta ao
item. Para a sua validação, realizou-se análise descritiva da escala segundo variáveis sociais do EU-
-Silc. A interpretação se deu pela descrição das categorias dos itens segundo perfis de domicílios
agrupados em clusters. Os resultados mostram que 14,3% dos agregados familiares com crianças
podem ser classificados como em situação de privação extrema e 25,6% num nível intermédio de
privação. Tendo em conta que o EU-Silc é aplicado em todos os países da União Europeia, a metodologia pode ser extensível a esses países, permitindo o monitoramento anual da pobreza infantil.
This article aims to contribute to the validation and interpretation of scale of the child exposure to household material deprivation, developed based on the Portuguese sample of the 2017 EU-Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-Silc). The index was developed from household questionnaire items by applying an item-response theory model. For its validation, a descriptive analysis of the scale by EU-Silc social variables was carried out. The interpretation was given by the description of the categories of items according to the profiles of households grouped into clusters. The results show that 14.3% of households with children can be classified as in a situation of extreme deprivation and 25.6% in an intermediate level of deprivation. Considering that EU-Silc is applied in all European Union, the methodology can be extended to other countries, allowing the annual monitoring of child poverty.
