Resumo(s)
Child poverty is a problem firmly recognized in the industrialized world. In the EU
nearly one in every five children was poor in 2008 (for the population as a whole the
risk of poverty was around 17 per cent). The dimension of the problem and its
consequences point out for the importance of knowing the processes behind it.
This paper aims to investigate how labour market issues and public policies have been
impact on child poverty, over recent years. Based on microdata gathered by the
European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU_SILC) for the period
2004-08 we give a portrait of child income poverty in European Southern countries such
as: Italy, Portugal and Spain and also in Poland. Moreover, we investigate the major
changes in social policies that could impact on child poverty such benefits target on
family and child allowances.
The international comparison will allow the identification of children’s poverty profile
and pattern across the countries analysed and also design the different compositions
between labour market elements / public policies in such countries. This exercise of
comparison also enables a first test of the efficiency of these policies.
The methodological framework used varies from descriptive methods to econometric models in order to sustain the discussion of the subject under study.
