| Title | Children and dynamics of poverty and social exclusion |
| Participants | Amélia Bastos (Principal Investigator) |
| Summary | This project investigates poverty and social exclusion dynamics. We examine recent trends in poverty and social exclusion dynamics in Portugal to understand children's trajectories for poverty or social exclusion. We also investigate if and how the presence of children in the household impacts on individual poverty routes. By considering different socio-demographic and economic factors we examine the association of these factors with poverty or social exclusion dynamics for individuals living in households with and without, children. We apply Portuguese data sourced from European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions. This information is useful for improving the design of social policy in the area of the family, and for contributing to the setting of targets in order to achieve the 2020-EU goals, such as the alleviation of poverty in general, and of child poverty in particular. Keywords: poverty or social exclusion dynamics, longitudinal typology, children, household, discrete choice model, socio-demographic and economic factors JEL Classification: I32, J13 |
