Inequality and Poverty in Portugal
The most recent studies on inequality, poverty and social exclusion in Portugal do not explore their regional variations. The main reason for this omission is the lack of data at regional level in the EU-SILC. This survey includes, however, a variable on the degree of urbanisation of the place of residence of households that is used in this paper as a proxy for the location. This study shows that location does matter: the average equivalised inco…
Robin Hood versus Piggy Bank
The redistributive effect of the Portuguese welfare state through pensions, benefits and income taxes is investigated in detail over the 2006- 2010 period using disposable income as benchmark. All social and fiscal policy instruments analysed contribute significantly to the reduction in inequality and poverty, with benefits other than pensions being the most cost-efficient. However, the impact of the economic crisis and austerity policies impleme…

The drive to reduce child poverty is of particular interest in southern Europe, where public assistance to low-income families with children is often meagre or not available at all. The paper examines the effect of income transfers to families in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal using a benefit-tax model. The distributional impact of actual programmes is shown to be weak, hence the scope for reform great. As an illustration, the European benefit…

The paper examines the effect of family transfers (used broadly to include contributory family allowances, non-contributory child benefits and tax credits or allowances) on child po…
