Long-term childhood poverty in Britain: Trends and drivers across the 1991–2017 birth cohorts
Any experience of childhood poverty affects life chances, but longer exposure is particularly detrimental to education, health, and future earnings. This study examines trends in long-term childhood poverty in Britain. Using a life-course perspective, we tracked poverty from birth to age ten among 1991–2017 birth cohorts. Our findings show that, on average, 17 per cent of children spent at least half of their childhood in poverty. Long-term pover…
Insurance against risk? Cost and compensation of job loss in different welfare states
This study investigates the cost of job loss to household incomes, and the extent to which initial earnings losses are compensated through the labor market, within the household, and by the social security programs. Using survey and administrative data from Denmark, Finland, Germany, and the UK (1990-2018), we estimate short- and long-term effects of job loss with a dynamic difference-in-differences model. Job loss reduces household income by 17 …
What explains intergenerational associations in home ownership and value in the UK? Investigating the transmission mechanisms
Evidence shows strong associations in wealth across generations, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Some studies attribute these associations to direct financial transfers between generations, while others suggest more indirect mechanisms such as the impact of parental wealth on children’s earnings, family formation, or saving and investment behaviour. Factors such as residential homophily and house value appreciation may als…
Lives in Welfare States: Life Courses, Earnings Accumulation, and Relative Living Standards in Five European Countries
How do work and family life courses differ in welfare states with varying emphasis on the state, market, and family for welfare provision? The authors compare life courses until midlife in Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, former West Germany, and reunified Germany. Longitudinal life course analyses using administrative and survey data support three main conclusions. First, young adults who accumulate high earnings experience similar life cou…
Insured Privately? Wealth Stratification of Job Loss in the UK
Job loss is a significant income shock that can lead to declines in living standards and satisfaction. Wealth can provide a key resource in stratifying the risk and the consequences of such an event. In this article, I examine the extent to which wealth stratified the experience of job loss in the UK from 1991 to 2008. I distinguish between different wealth groups using information on homeownership and home value of primary residency, and then st…
Missing Dimensions of Poverty? Calibrating Deprivation Scales Using Perceived Financial Situation
Deprivation scales usually cover some but not all aspects of poverty. Missing dimensions could affect who is and is not identified as poor. Despite its importance, whether missing dimensions affect the measurement of poverty has not been empirically examined in the EU context. Such an examination requires data on missing dimensions that existing surveys do not usually collect. In this article, I get around this problem with an innovative design a…
Understanding Material Deprivation for 25 EU Countries: Risk and Level Perspectives, and Distinctiveness of Zeros
Existing deprivation scales identify a majority of the population in each European Union (EU) country with zero deprivation. In this article, I hypothesize and test whether scoring zero on a material deprivation scale is a qualitatively different phenomenon to scoring at least one by applying and comparing multiple count models. I then examine how neglecting the distinctiveness of zeros, as the case in conventional models, influences our understa…
Missing the Unhealthy? Examining Empirical Validity of Material Deprivation Indices (MDIs) Using a Partial Criterion Variable
This study investigates the empirical validity of the material deprivation indices (MDIs) using a partial criterion variable, namely UHCNIR (unmet health care need due to inadequate resources). This alternative approach helps to assess absolute validity (Type I and II errors) and sources of error in the measurement of poverty for a specific aspect of poverty (in this case inability to receive adequate health care due to affordability problems). A…
