Increasing work intensity to improve economic well-being
This paper examines the impact of year-to-year increases in work intensity on economic well-being across European countries. Work intensity may rise through an increased number of months worked or the exit of dependent adult children. This study examines the differences between these two mechanisms. Both objective and subjective economic well-being are considered, namely, income levels and perceived ability to make ends meet. The analysis draws o…
A double Matthew effect? Income and territorial inequalities in 0–2 Ecec uptake
Purpose This article explores income and territorial inequalities in the uptake of early childhood education and care (ECEC) services for children aged 0–2 in two contrasting welfare contexts, Italy and Sweden. It investigates whether these dimensions intersect to create a double Matthew effect, whereby the most disadvantaged households face compounded barriers to access. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on cross-sectional EU-SIL…
Poverty and public works
This paper investigates how being employed in public works exposes workers and their households to poverty. Public works consist of centrally planned and financed works targeting long‐term unemployed or inactive. Evidence is primarily negative concerning improved employment trajectories, while we still know little about the poverty outcomes. To examine this, we draw on the 2014–2019 cross‐sectional data of the EU‐SILC survey for Hungary. Hungary …
Dissecting communities of renewable energy
Market liberalization in the energy sectors has created several regulatory gaps that ‘heterodox forms’ of economic experiences – such as Community Renewable Energy Organizations (hereinafter, CREOs) – can fill. CREOs are cooperatives or corporations, financing the installation of energy devices. But how do CREOs establish themselves? What are the different ‘social features’ that CREOs assume over time? To deal with these questions, the paper inve…
Are the in-work poor more disadvantaged in urban areas? An analysis of housing affordability in Italy
In Europe, there is growing empirical evidence on the difficulties workers face in making ends meet. High housing costs may compound the picture. This study investigates the housing affordability problems of workers' households. Drawing on 2019 EU-SILC cross-sectional data for Italy, it examines the extent to which working households' income results in housing affordability problems, and the differences between cities and rural areas. It consider…
Atypical work, financial assets, and asset poverty in Germany
This study investigates how atypical employment (i.e., part-time, temporary work, mini-jobs) affects workers' ability to accumulate financial assets and exposes them to asset poverty in Germany. Asset poverty occurs when household financial resources (e.g., bank deposits and stock equity) are insufficient to live at the income poverty line for three months. Previously, studies on labour market processes and wealth inequalities have been chiefly d…
In-work poverty and regional disparities. An analysis of the relationship between work intensity and the probability of being and feeling poor across Italian territories
Work intensity is considered one relevant factor in shaping the risk of experiencing in-work poverty, i.e., being a worker with a household income below the relative poverty line. However, little attention has been paid to how work intensity is associated with workers' subjective poverty (i.e., their feeling of being in-work poor) and to how this association varies across geographical areas. Therefore, the present work intends to fill this gap an…
