“…They confirm findings reported in (Israel 2016;Bárcena-Martín et al 2019) that the demographic composition, current income situation, and health problems affect MD. In particular, our results support the conclusions of other authors showing that monetary poverty and MD do not strictly coincide (Ayllón and Gábos 2017;Stávková et al 2012;Nolan and Whelan 2010;Szulc 2008). Furthermore, our findings confirm the importance of such attributes of the household head as age, educational attainment, economic activity, and occupational position.…”

“…First of all, many studies find an association between household income and MD (Bárcena-Martín et al 2014;Bedük 2018;Israel 2016). However, monetary poverty and MD do not strictly coincide (Ayllón and Gábos 2017;Stávková et al 2012;Szulc 2008). Ayllón and Gábos (2017) pointed out that these social indicators capture different aspects of economic hardship in the majority of analysed European countries.…”

The study applies the fuzzy approach to measuring material deprivation from a multidimensional perspective. By taking into account the intensity of deprivation this approach goes beyond the conventional research using the deprived/non-deprived dichotomy. The study is based on the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data including a set of nine-item material deprivation indicators adopted by all European Union countries. In order to examine the effects of social reforms introduced by the Polish government in 2016, it focuses on the situation of Polish households in 2015 and 2017. The study aims to identify correlates of material deprivation in Poland using the zero-inflated beta regression model. This model enables to understand the mechanisms behind the risk and the intensity of material deprivation. Moreover, the study provides evidence that households with at least three children experienced meaningful improvement during the studied period. This is probably due to the introduction of the ‘Family 500+’ programme supporting mainly large families.

One of the key targets of the EU's 2020 Strategy is to substantially reduce the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The EU seeks to reduce poverty by lifting at least 20 million people out of the risk of poverty or social exclusion by 2020. The monitoring of progress towards this target is based on the headline indicator AROPE-people at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The indicator applies to people either at risk of poverty or severely materially deprived or living in a household with a very low work intensity. This article focuses on material deprivation, one of the three components monitored to evaluate the social situation in the EU. The article deals with material deprivation and severe material deprivation in Slovak and Polish households. The two main goals of this article are to examine which factors have a significant effect on material deprivation and to determine the influence of those relevant factors on material deprivation of Slovak and Polish households. The article * The publication was written for the project financed from funds allocated to the Faculty of

“…An important reason for the EU to include material deprivation in its indicators is that it offers a way of taking into account the different living standards among various countries, particularly between the EU-12 and the new member states. Namely, if only relative national poverty thresholds were considered, the risk of poverty would seem to be rather similar among EU countries, masking the significant difference in living standards among the population (Stávková et al 2012).…”

Material deprivation and employment status in post-transition: Evidence from North Macedonia

Poverty and social exclusion are often associated with unemployment, but being employed is not always sufficient to provide decent living conditions for workers and their families. In this context, the aim of this article, drawing on SILC micro data, is to assess the underlying causes of severe material deprivation in North Macedonia from the point of view of employment status, particularly the differences between employed and unemployed workers. The results show that employed workers face a much greater risk of severe material deprivation if they are positioned in the so-called secondary labour market; while the unemployed with low capital accumulation and those living in households with low work intensity face the highest risks of all. North Macedonia’s adjustment mechanisms do help cushion the consequences, but the article concludes with several policy recommendations for additional action to reduce severe material deprivation covering: education and training; active labour market policies; unionisation and collective bargaining; wage subsidies and taxation; and a statutory minimum wage.
