요약This dissertation examines how different dimensions of poverty relate to children's developmental outcomes, providing empirical evidence from rural Cote d'Ivoire. Anchored in the Deprivation and Threat framework (McLaughlin et al., 2014), the initial chapter presents a narrative synthesis of poverty metrics used in research, including economic, multidimensional, proxy, and geospatial measures. It highlights critical gaps in understanding which specific poverty indicators are most developmentally salient across outcome domains, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where structural and environmental forms of deprivation persist and are compounded by underinvestment, marginalization, and structural inequality. Poverty is not only a developmental risk: it is a reflection of systemic injustice. For children, it constrains opportunities, limits access to basic rights and unequally shapes their life trajectories. Two empirical investigations extend the findings of the narrative synthesis. The next chapter introduces a novel Neighborhood Quality Index (NQI) developed using geo-referenced data from 140 villages on household (N = 1,857) access to key infrastructure such as distance to schools, hospitals, functional road, and electricity grid, as well as exposure to incidents of community violence. Principal component analysis was used to reduce these indicators into a composite index. Child outcomes of interest include numeracy, literacy, socioemotional skills, executive functioning, and physical health as measured by height-for-age. Using multilevel models, the analysis finds that "better" neighborhood quality is statistically significantly and positively associated with numeracy and literacy skills, socioemotional wellbeing, and executive functioning, even after adjusting for household-level poverty. The next empirical chapter uses multiple random forest algorithms to decompose the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), identifying which specific indicators of household poverty best predict the same child outcomes as explored in the previous chapter. Findings show that certain household deprivations, such as parental education and child school enrolment, carry greater predictive weight (or "importance") than others, underscoring the limitations of equal-weighted poverty indices, and disentangling poverty indicator importance. The findings offer both methodological and policy insights for designing targeted, context-sensitive poverty alleviation strategies to improve child development outcomes in Cote d'Ivoire and other Majority World contexts. In doing so, the review and subsequent empirical investigations aim to extend the limited research base on children's developmental outcomes in the Majority World, advancing more globally inclusive, epistemically plural, and locally actionable knowledge to inform measurement, intervention, and policy action.
