Abstract: This article constructs a set of incomeoriented multidimensional poverty indicators based on Chinas current antipoverty objectives，and further sets different indicators for adults and children on the basis of a lifecycle perspectiveThe paper then measures Chinas multidimensional poverty using the indicators constructed above，and then explores the causes of poverty using regression analysesThe results show that 74% of children suffer from at least one dimension of povertyChildren poverty is a larger issue and even more serious than adults povertyPoverty rates in health and education dimension are both around 20%，implying the necessity to design antipoverty policies from a lifecycle perspective and to deal with children povertyThe paper also examines factors to cause multidimensional povertyThe regression results show that human capital factors and family debts affect multidimensional poverty as well as the depth of povertyEducation policies and microfinance policies to combat with poverty may thus be urgently needed
