Simulating the Impact of Employment Growth on Poverty
The European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan sets ambitious targets to be achieved by 2030, including reducing the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE) by 15 million and raising the employment rate to 78% among the working‐age population. This article investigates the extent to which employment growth to the level of the 2030 employment rate target can deliver on the EU’s 2030 social target. Departing from key theor…
Unravelling the relationship between employment, social transfers and income poverty
Despite the rise in employment, consistently high EU-average poverty rates continue to generate debates about the factors that explain the level and changes in the relative poverty rate, both within and across countries. Assuming a strong negative correlation between poverty and employment, the article investigates the role of four mechanisms responsible for this blurred relationship. Using decomposition analysis and macro-level regression analys…

A társadalomkutatási célú empirikus adatfelvételek egyik legnagyobb kihívása a csökkenő válaszadási hajlandóság. A probléma nem csak Magyarországon, nem csak egyik vagy másik vizsgálatsorozatban jelentkezik, és nem is egyik vagy másik adatfelvevő céghez kötődik. Mivel a részvétel és az elutasítás nem véletlenszerűen oszlik el a vizsgált populációkban, a megvalósult adatfelvételek interpretációjához és validitásának értékeléséhez elengedhetetlen, …
Anyagi válság okozta sokkok és vélemények a társadalmi előrejutásról
Cikkünk kérdése: Milyen hatással járhatott a gazdasági válság, vagyis a háztartásokat érő sokk a társadalmi előrejutással és az állam szerepével kapcsolatos attitűdökre Magyarországon a 2007 és 2016 közötti időszakban? A Tárki Háztartás Monitor 2007-es és 2016-os vizsgálatai alapján készült elemzésünknek a társadalmi előrejutásra és az állam szerepére vonatkozó attitűdadatai romló tendenciát mutatnak, amennyiben csökkent az egyéni törekvésbe vete…

Rising Inequalities
Changing Inequalities in Rich Countries
This text uses a combination of comparative analysis and in-depth examination of the experience of 30 countries over the past 30 years, to see whether inequality in incomes, wealth, and education has been widening. It shows how these inequalities are related to social and political outcomes such as poverty, family structures, health, and crime.
Changing Inequalities and Societal Impacts in Rich Countries
This book addresses key questions about whether inequality in incomes, wealth, and education have been widening in a consistent fashion across 30 rich nations. It considers possible drivers of these developments, and it scrutinises scrutinizes whether this widening is exacerbating social problems and undermining the healthy functioning of democratic processes. It sets out to answer these questions by looking in depth at the experience of 30 count…
European inequalities
This book summarizes four years of research on social inclusion and income distribution across the European Union carried out in the framework of the European Observatory on the Social Situation and Demography, which has been established by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities of the European Commission. It gives an overview of the comparative information that is available for the EU Member States on inco…
The Demand for Redistribution
Rational choice theories of the size of government would predict larger demand for redistribution (and, as a consequence, a higher level of redistribution) in more unequal representative democracies operating under conditions of majority voting. To explain the actual mismatch between the distribution of incomes and preferences, the logic of pure self-interest can be refi ned by introducing past mobility experience and future mobility expectations…

Child Poverty and Family Transfers in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland
Governments of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland implemented reforms of family benefits in the mid-1990s. What were the common features of those reforms and what were the possible effects on child poverty? Based on household micro data, trends in poverty among children, large families and single parents are presented for two data points: one before and one after the restrictive reforms in family policies. The focus of the analysis is on chan…
Une société aux lisières de l'alphabet
L'étude des populations paysannes dans la Hongrie des XVIIe-XVIIIesiècles permet de comprendre comment les sociétés anciennes pouvaient rester aux marges de la culture écrite. À cette date, l'illettrisme est général chez les ruraux hongrois, qui ne savent pas signer, sinon d'une croix, les documents officiels que, pourtant, tous ne sont pas inaptes à déchiffrer. On distingue mal, en effet, dans les sources d'archives, les illettrés des semi-alpha…

The first two waves of the Hungarian household panel
The Hungarian Household Panel started in 1992 with a representative sample of Hungarian households. The first part of the paper gives a non‐technical overview of the design, methods, research questions and possible uses of the study. The second part overviews some of the analytical work undertaken on the dataset and uses illustrative data on labour market changes, incomes, inequalities and poverty
Peasant sexuality in eighteenth-century Hungary
A l'aide de témoignages devant les cours féodales, dans cas de fornication, cet article étudie le comportement sexuel des paysans et les pratiques de contrôle des naissances. Des preuves sont fournies quant au droit de la communauté du village de sanctionner et d'admonester les fauteur en cas de méfaits sexuels et d'utilisation d'artifices pour éviter les conceptions. Il y a quelques références à la seule méthode effective de contrôle des naissan…
