Event Interviews
This article introduces a methodological tool for the study of change and adaptation: event interviews. Individual and family lives marked by constant change at both macro and micro levels, recession and growth, marriage and divorce trigger the need for adaptation. Understanding how these events shape individual experiences and trajectories requires methods that account for both time and context. Developed in the context of the project Child pove…
Different sized belts
When faced with financial shocks, families often combine multiple resources, including savings, networks, public transfers and services, to cover their needs and respond to changing conditions. This paper explores the strategies families with children in Barcelona deploy to respond to financial shocks by analysing interviews with 29 families experiencing difficulties to make ends meet. The paper makes three main contributions to the literature on…
Migrant Origin Children and Child Poverty in Spain
El cuidado infantil y sus efectos en la intención de tener más hijos en España
España es uno de los países con las tasas de fecundidad más bajas de Europa. La escasez de servicios de apoyo a las familias con hijos se ha esgrimido como una de las causas estructurales de su reducida fertilidad. En este contexto, la ayuda al cuidado infantil formal, especialmente en la etapa de 0 a 3 años, es considerada un recurso crucial para mejorar el escenario existente. Utilizando datos de la Encuesta de Fecundidad de España de 2018 (INE…
Intertwined precariousness and precarity
The growth of non‐standard employment has emerged as a crucial factor that contributes to delays and difficulties in young people's transitions to adulthood. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of multidimensional measures of precariousness. This paper aims to investigate the phenomenon of precariousness holistically, using an original database of respondents in Spain from 20 to 34 years of age. Using a mixed‐methods approach, we ex…
Estrategias de cuidado infantil de 0 a 3 años en España
Utilizando datos de la Encuesta Española de Fecundidad 2018 este estudio analiza las estrategias de cuidado infantil de las madres con hijos de 0 a 3 años y sus perfiles sociodemográficos. Se distinguen cuatro grupos de mujeres en función de los recursos disponibles: madres españolas con empleo y en pareja, sin empleo y en pareja, sin pareja y madres extranjeras. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría combinan alternativas para el cuidado, aunque…
Pobres con empleo
España registra una de las tasas más altas de pobreza laboral en Europa y una alta inestabilidad laboral. Reducir la pobreza laboralrequiere comprender los mecanismos de entrada y salida de esta situación, y los factores protectores y de riesgo. Con datos de laEncuesta de Condiciones de Vida (2017-2020), mostramos que los hogares con menores tienen mayor probabilidad de pobreza laboral y esta es más persistente. Dicho esto, las entradas y salidas…
Pobreza infantil, privación y desigualdad intrahogar durante la recesión económica
La pobreza se mide generalmente a nivel de hogar. Sin embargo, hay evidencia creciente de que los hogares no distribuyen recursos equitativamente. Utilizando datos del módulo de privación de material en la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida 2014, este artículo proporciona nueva evidencia sobre la desigualdad dentro del hogar en contextos de recesión económica. Los hogares se esfuerzan por proteger a los menores de los efectos de la pobreza; pero no …

Since the market is closed, there is no more money, there is nothing we can do”
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to widen inequalities and hamper the SDG commitments of gender equality and poverty reduction. In Africa, it is feared that the social consequences of the pandemic will undo the progress in gender equality achieved over the last two decades. Through in-depth qualitative telephone interviews with 37 adolescent girls in Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone this paper sheds light on the economic consequences of the pandemi…
Children First? Intra-Household Inequality in Reconstituted Couple Households
An increasing number of children are growing up in reconstituted households, formed by a couple and a non-common child. Reconstituted households tend to be poorer, which is associated with worse behavioural and developmental outcomes. Additionally, there is evidence that non-common children receive less economic support from their parents upon leaving the parental home. Using age-specific deprivation data collected in the 2014 European Survey on …
Prostitution and Sex Work, Who Counts? Mapping Local Data to Inform Policy and Service Provision
Data on the sex industry is notably hard to obtain. Existing evidence points towards an increase in the number of people selling sex, particularly through the online industry. The growing and increasingly diverse population poses challenges to service provision, as new groups are less visible and less likely to be in contact with specialist services. Simultaneously, there are increased calls for policies regulating the sex industry to be grounded…
First the Children, then the Employed
Using data from 22 European countries this paper examines intra-household inequality between children and adults. Households allocate resources according to dynamic rules that consider age, gender, kinship and labor market participation. Parents and the unemployed are the most likely to experience deprivation. Extended co-residency is a helpful but limited strategy to reduce child poverty: extended households are more likely to protect children, …
Factors associated with the perpetration of interpersonal violence and abuse in young people’s intimate relationships
This paper examines individual, peer and societal factors associated with young people's instigation of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, including abuse and control through new technologies, in their intimate relationships. The mixed-method research included a survey of 4564 young people aged 14-17 across five European countries. Young people's advisory groups were convened in each country to work alongside the research teams. Across the Eur…
Do Households Prioritise Children? Intra-Household Deprivation a Case Study of the South Pacific
Including services in multidimensional poverty measurement for SDGs
Poor households disproportionately lack access to services, yet this is rarely considered in poverty measures. Service provision can vary significantly between and within countries, and so similar levels of household resources may translate to very different living standards. Where universal provision of basic services is lacking, current approaches to poverty measurement may result in underestimates, thereby raising comparability and identificat…
The Current Landscape of Prostitution and Sex Work in England and Wales
This paper presents a comprehensive typology of the sex industry based on primary data collected between 2018 and 2019 for a UK Home Office-funded study. Typologies of the contemporary sex industry in England and Wales have tended to be limited to particular sectors or have been developed from a specific disciplinary perspective or theme (e.g. sexual health programming, income). Situated in the context of international sex industry typologies, th…
Pornography, Sexual Coercion and Abuse and Sexting in Young People’s Intimate Relationships
New technology has made pornography increasingly accessible to young people, and a growing evidence base has identified a relationship between viewing pornography and violent or abusive behavior in young men. This article reports findings from a large survey of 4,564 young people aged 14 to 17 in five European countries which illuminate the relationship between regular viewing of online pornography, sexual coercion and abuse and the sending and r…
Tax Credits and In-Work Poverty in the UK
This article examines the relationship between tax credits and in-work poverty, drawing on the findings from a major national study on in-work poverty. We present an analysis of (i) the income packages of working families and (ii) the performance of tax credits in relation to anti-poverty objectives, drawing on data from the Households Below Average Income survey between 2004/5 and 2014/15. Our study generates five novel findings, including that …
Moving In and Out of In-work Poverty in the UK
There is growing concern about the problem of in-work poverty in the UK. Despite this, the literature on in-work poverty remains small in comparison with that on low pay and, in particular, we know relatively little about how people move in and out of in-work poverty. This paper presents an analysis of in-work poverty transitions in the UK, and extends the literature in this field in a number of identified ways. The paper finds that in-work pover…
