Hvornår er en familie fattig? Vi analyserer i artiklen, hvilke faktorer der lægges vægt på, når man vurderer, om en familie er fattig. Undersøgelsen er baseret på resultaterne af en horisontal vignetundersøgelse (factorial survey) med 356 respondenter, der alle er professionsbachelorstuderende. Med udgangspunkt i forskellige fattigdomsteorier undersøger vi, hvilke aspekter af fattigdom (blandt andet økonomi, afsavn og varighed) der tillægges størst vægt, når man vurderer, om en person er fattig. Resultaterne viser, at der først og fremmest lægges vægt på indkomsten. Fattigdomsopfattelserne er i overensstemmelse med OECD’s fattigdomsgrænse, idet familier gennemsnitligt begynder at blive klassificeret som fattige, når de falder under OECD’s fattigdomsgrænse. Nogle afsavn tillægges en lille betydning, mens afsavnenes varighed samt vignetpersonernes køn og arbejdsmarkedstilknytning tillægges ingen eller minimal betydning.
When is a family poor? We examine what factors are emphasized when people judge whether a family is poor or not. The article is based on a factorial survey with 356 respondents who study social work, nursing, nursery teaching and nutrition and health. Based on theories of poverty, we study what aspects of a family’s life situation are accentuated when people judge whether the family is poor or not. The respondents primarily emphasize income in their poverty judgements. Some deprivations also enter into the judgements, while the duration of deprivations, gender and labor market participation have no or minimal significance for the judgements.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
