The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on working poverty
Due to the ongoing Covid-crisis, the number of workers benefiting from short-time work schemes was high, especially during lockdowns, another large group of workers started working from home, and others, unfortunately, lost their jobs. The current situation is unprecedented, because it is the only global recession driven solely by a pandemic and the decrease in life expectancy is the worst since World War II. This article first shows that the lit…
Being a poor farmer in a wealthy country
Many Swiss farming families face socioeconomic disadvantage despite Switzerland being a wealthy country with instruments of agricultural policy financially supporting almost all farmers. However, official poverty statistics exclude Swiss farmers and scientific knowledge is rare about how such situations are experienced. This article scrutinises the situation of Swiss farming families living in poverty or material deprivation by intertwining quali…
Handbook on migration and social policy

Do Family Policies Matter for Educational Outcomes
The aim of this article is to shed some light on the impact of family policies on educational mobility; this link has been often debated, but rarely measured. Another aim of this contribution is to build a bridge between social mobility research and social policy analysis. We investigate whether the level of expenditure on family services in the 1980s and 1990s has had a positive impact on educational achievements and mobility in 11 European coun…
Poverty and material deprivation among E uropean workers in times of crisis
Many EU countries are faced with abysmal public debts and high unemployment, and may have to reduce their social expenditure and deregulate their labour market, which should lead to an increase in ‘working poverty’ (i.e., an increase in the number of working men and women who live in a low‐income household, or in a household that cannot afford certain goods and services considered essential for a decent life, respectively). However, working pover…
A state-of-the-art review of working poverty in advanced economies
While there is a growing awareness of the ‘re-emergence’ of working poverty, this topic remains relatively under-researched. This article provides an encompassing review of the literature dealing with the situation in Europe, North America and the Antipodes, with a focus on the theoretical models found in this literature, the definitions used and the risk groups identified. The main conclusion is that most publications were not based on a specifi…
The Impact of Adaptive Preferences on Subjective Indicators
Worlds of Working Poverty
The notion of the working poor is frequently used in public debates, but it refers to a great variety of different profiles and situations. To classify them in the same category may obscure some important aspects of the problem, something which could prove detrimental to social policy efforts. The situation of, say, a single mother with an average level of education who works part time and that of a couple of low-skilled, low- wage working parent…
Fighting Working Poverty in Post-industrial Economies
This thought-provoking book provides an in-depth analysis of the working poor phenomenon and its causes across welfare regimes, and identifies the most efficient policy mixes and best practices that could be utilized to resolve this problem.
