Abstract
This paper analyses multidimensional fuzzy monetary and non-monetary deprivation in households with children by using two different definitions: households with children under 14 years old, and the EU definition of households with dependent children. Eight dimensions of non-monetary deprivation were found using 34 items from the EU-SILC 2016 survey. Dealing with subpopulations, it is essential to compute standard errors for the presented estimators. Thus, a relevant added value of the paper is fuzzy poverty measures and associated standard errors, which were also computed. Moreover, a comparison was made between the measures obtained concerning the two subpopulations across countries. With a focus on Italy, an Italian macro-region is presented.

Summary
(with Spain and Greece) reported the highest at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion rate (nearly 20%) in EU member countries for households with two adults and one dependent, while nearly 40% of households with two adults and three or more dependent children are at risk of poverty (only Bulgaria and Romania report higher figures). It seems that the burden of dependent children weighs more heavily in Italy than in other member states.
