Regimes of social minima in Europe
Living wages in Portugal
Living wage (LW) is a concept that goes beyond that of national minimum wage (NMW), since it implies income adequacy to the wage earners and to his/her family members. It is coherent with the principle related to wages of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) namely the right of workers to fair wages, and the duty to ensure adequate minimum wages providing the satisfaction of the worker needs and of his/her family, which originated a propos…
Social resilience and welfare systems under Covid-19
COVID-19 and the corresponding economic lockdown and income loss for large segments of population was something unexpected for all European countries, and their welfare systems were not prepared to protect their citizens from such threats. Social resilience is becoming used in disaster risk analysis, and preferred to that of vulnerability, to refer the ability of the social entities to respond to such challenges, enabling them to cope and adjust …
The Minimum Income Standard and equivalisation
Equivalence scales, used to compare incomes across household types, strongly influence which households have low reported income, affecting public policy priorities. Yet they draw on abstract, often dated evidence and arbitrary judgements, and on comparisons across the income distribution rather than focusing on minimum requirements. Budget standards provide more tangible comparisons of the minimum required by different household types. The Minim…
The guaranteed minimum income in Portugal
The Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) was created in Portugal by a centre‐left Socialist Party government in 1996, as the most important constitutive part of a ‘new generation of active social policies,’ which completed the existence in Portugal of a universal system of guaranteed income. Its transformation into a Social Integration Income (SII) in 2003 and its retrenchment in the period of the Great Recession and troika austerity (2011–2015) has r…
European Social Policy
European social policy can be referred to on at least two dimensions: European in the sense of EU social policy and associated striving toward advancing EU-driven social policy (Copeland & Daly, 2018), and European with regard to separate—but possibly transferred and diffused—national strategies in social policy-making, partly coping with the multi-tiered structures of their respective welfare states (Bonoli, Natili & Trein, 2018). The recently p…
The Portuguese Welfare System in a Time of Crisis and Fiscal Austerity
Uma abordagem histórica dos padrões de rendimento mínimo em Portugal
O artigo apresenta uma análise interpretativa da história dos mínimos sociais em Portugal. Pretende-se reconstruir o itinerário histórico da evolução dos padrões de rendimento mínimo, identificando e contextualizando os marcos que caracterizaram a sua evolução. Esta análise enquadra-se num projeto de investigação em que se pretende, através duma abordagem consensual dos orçamentos padrão, determinar o valor do rendimento mínimo adequado em Portug…
The development of the Welfare State in Portugal
This paper presents a data series on social expenditure in Portugal for the period 1938-2003. The series was built with the aim of identifying and characterizing the most significant phases in the process leading up to the current welfare state system in this country. The establishment of a social insurance ( Previdência ) in 1935 was one of the founding pillars of the Estado Novo (New State). Reforms to Social Welfare ( Previdência Social ) in 1…

Welfare States and Anti-Poverty Regimes
This article addresses the issue of comparing welfare regimes with a particular focus on poverty policies. Some reflections are made on methodology and some data are presented in order to highlight the relevant differences among the northern and southern European countries. The main features of the Portuguese case are then presented and evaluated within the context of this broader analysis
