Abstract

The State of Mainland Tanzania’s Children: Evidence from the Mainland Household Budget Surveys (2007–2018) is the first child poverty report for Mainland Tanzania that uses consistent and comparable indicators of monetary and multidimensional poverty for children aged 0–17 years, using three rounds of Household Budget Survey (HBS) data collected between 2007 and 2018. The report shows that Mainland Tanzania’s children have seen considerable improvements in their living standards during the period 2007-2018. Multidimensional poverty among children fell from 79% to 31%; this pattern mirrored similar declines in child monetary poverty, which dropped from 37% to 30% over the same period. Still, in 2018 almost half of all children (47 per cent) in Mainland Tanzania experienced some sort of poverty, be it monetary, non-monetary, or a combination of both. The dimensions in which most children are deprived are housing (83%), and water & sanitation (83%).
