The AROPE indicator of risk of poverty or social exclusion contains a multi-dimensional view of poverty or social exclusion by accounting for the population that finds itself in at least one of the following three situations: 1) below the poverty risk threshold; 2) suffering severe material deprivation; 3) with low work intensity in the household.
Poor people have a higher probability of facing additional shortages and a
lower probability of suffering an existing shortage than people who are not
poor.
We analyse how opinions on economic redistribution and social protection
depend not only on family incomes, but also on the wages earned by people
in the immediate social environment.
Having a job is no longer sufficient for escaping poverty. Many households,
especially with children, are experiencing in-work poverty associated with
low wages or periods of inactivity.
