Two decades of child-contingent policies and redistribution in Spain
Tax-benefit systems play a crucial role in supporting families by providing cash assistance for childrearing. This support helps cover the costs associated with raising children while also contributing to income redistribution. In this paper, we examine the redistributive effects of child-contingent cash support in Spain, a country marked by high child poverty, high income inequality, and low fertility rates. Our study covers nearly two decades o…
Broadening Well-being Indicators for Developed Countries
The aim of this paper is to propose a set of dimensions and indicators to measure the incidence and trends of unmet social needs related to well-being and aggregate them into a composite index (USNI). We contribute to the current literature on the measurement of social needs through broader and more systematic indicators based on the principles of access, quality, and equity. Using different microdata sources, we take a selected sample of Europea…
Social Policy Responses to Rising Inflation in Southern Europe
As they were just coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern European nations were confronted with a new shock to their economies – this time in the form of a steep rise in prices. This article describes and typifies the social policy responses and measures adopted in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain in response to rising inflation. We find that Southern European (SE) governments have put forward a substantive fiscal response – which compares…

Measuring the effect of spell recurrence on poverty dynamics—evidence from Spain
The measurement of gender wage discrimination
Gender Wage Discrimination and Poverty in the EU
This paper analyzes the role of gender wage discrimination in household poverty rates in several European Union (EU) countries using the European Community Household Panel. In order to quantify the impact of discrimination on poverty, it proposes the construction of a counterfactual distribution of wages where discrimination against women has been removed. Using this new wage distribution, the study computes total household income and compares po…
Poverty statics and dynamics
Any public policy aimed at reducing the effects of deprivation should be aware of the consequences of the use of different income accounting periods on eligibility and subsequent policy evaluation. This study aims to throw some light on the relev‐ance of choosing a specific accounting period for public policy evaluation in a European country, in contrast to the existing evidence for the United States. Our analysis indicates that there are some si…
The Dynamics of Child Poverty in Industrialised Countries
A child poverty rate of ten percent could mean that every tenth child is always poor, or that all children are in poverty for one month in every ten. Knowing where reality lies between these extremes is vital to understanding the problem facing many countries of poverty among the young. This unique study goes beyond the standard analysis of child poverty based on poverty rates at one point in time and documents how much movement into and out of p…
