“…The families resided in 9 rural counties in Georgia, in small towns and communities in which poverty rates are among the highest in the nation and unemployment rates are above the national average. 16 Of the youth in the sample, 53% were girls and 47% were boys.

“…Our analyses are based on family income, but cohabiting partners are treated as unrelated individuals within a household; thus, cohabiting couples span two families according to CPS definitions. Race, correlated with both income (Proctor and Dalaker 2003) and non-marital fertility (Ventura 2000), is dummy-coded as White, Black, and other. Sample size considerations for the beginning of our time series preclude more detailed measures of race/ethnicity.…”

We examine the changing social and economic characteristics of women who give birth out of wedlock. Using Current Population Survey data collected between 1982 and 2002, we find that never-married mothers remain impoverished. Their income growth over these years was modest despite substantial gains in education, employment, and other individual characteristics generally associated with prosperity. These results affirm the ongoing role of family structure in shaping American inequality.

“…The identification of the thresholds of households at the risk of poverty leading to the division of households "at risk" of poverty and "others" is, according to Proctor and Dalaker (2003), not sufficient. They, therefore, recommend the calculation of additional parameters -the depth of poverty.…”

Abstract:The paper deals with the assessment of income situation of households in the czech republic. The primary source for the analysis were the data of the survey EU-SiLc European Union -Statistics on income and Living conditions. The basic variable for the analysis is the level of the household income in [2005][2006][2007][2008]. in addition to the decile classification, characteristics such as the average income per one household member, poverty threshold, poverty depth coefficient, Lorenz curve and gini coefficient. were calculated in order to evaluate the income situation. The results show an increase of the average household income. The Lorenz curve followed by the gini coefficient demonstrate the uniformity of distribution of income values. The results show a decreasing income differentiation. The poverty threshold was defined on the level of 60% of the median value and with this given threshold, the households were assessed, whether they belong to the ones at the risk of poverty. The results reveal a decreasing number of households at the risk of poverty. The poverty depth coefficient has a stronger explanatory power and shows how far below the poverty threshold the households are, or what is an income deficit of these households. Each category of households at the risk of poverty varies with the depth of poverty. The analysis also provides the results of how the households' income situation or poverty is perceived by the households themselves.Key words: income differentiation of households, households at risk of poverty, material deprivation, perception of the income situation, EU SiLc Supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the czech republic (Project no. MSM 6215648904).
