  abstract = {{A}lthough multidimensional approach to study child poverty has received growing attention, weights of different dimensions in constructing single aggregation indices have not been properly investigated. {U}sing {Y}oung {L}ives data, this study attempts to fill this gap by examining a weight estimation method which takes into account the children’s perspectives. {T}his approach consists of computing analytical weights from estimated parameters of a subjective well-being regression model, where children’s subjective well-being is explained by their achievement in dimensions included in multidimensional poverty indices. {B}y doing so, weights reflect value judgments of children on what is a good life and are not based on a normative approach. {E}stimation results indicate that revealed preferences of children change overtime and across sub-groups of children. {M}ore importantly, this paper demonstrates that children do not give the same value to all dimensions, contrary to what the most common approach to calculate weights is supposing. {C}hildren then attach more importance to deprivations such as shelter, water and sanitation deprivations, which impact immediately their well-being than to deprivations which may affect negatively their well-being in the long-term, with the exception of education for some groups of children.},
