Measuring consistent poverty in Ireland with EU SILC data (2009)

Measuring consistent poverty in Ireland with EU SILC data (2009)

Whelan, Christopher T.; Nolan, Brian; Maitre, Bertrand

Abstract:

In this paper we seek to make use of the newly available Irish component of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) in order to develop a measure of consistent poverty that overcomes some of the difficulties associated with the original indicators employed as targets in the Irish National Anti-Poverty Strategy. Our analysis leads us to propose a set of economic strain indicators that cover a broader range than the original basic deprivation set. The accumulated evidence supports the view that a revised consistent poverty measure that combines a threshold of two or more economic strain items with income poverty at seventy per cent of median income, identifies those exposed to generalised deprivation arising from lack of resources in a manner consistent with their use as targets in the National Anti-Poverty Strategy. The consistently poor differ from others not only in relation to income poverty and economic strain but also in terms of exposure to a ran...

Non-Cash Benefits and Poverty in Ireland (2009)

Nolan, Brian; Russell, Helen

Non-Cash Benefits and Poverty in Ireland (2009)

Nolan, Brian; Russell, Helen

Abstract:

This paper addresses the question of whether Non-Cash benefits significantly affect the estimated poverty rates. It carefully considers how the benefits could be measured and concluded that there is relatively little change in overall poverty levels when non-cash benefits are valued and included in the estimation procedure. However, since the benefits are strongly targeted towards the elderly rather than towards other groups of welfare recipients, their inclusion does matter in determining the relative poverty status of different groups.

Persistent and consistent poverty in the 1994 and 1995 waves of the European Community Household Panel Study (2009)

Persistent and consistent poverty in the 1994 and 1995 waves of the European Community Household Panel Study (2009)

Layte, Richard; Maitre, Bertrand; Nolan, Brian; Whelan, Christopher T.

Abstract:

In this paper we attempt to contribute to the growing literature on the mismatch observed when comparing income and deprivation measures of poverty through an analysis of the first two waves of the European Community Household Panel Study. We do so by developing for each country measures of point in time income poverty, persistent income poverty and consistent poverty involving both low income and a corresponding level of deprivation. Our analysis shows that the mismatch between income and deprivation measures is greatest at the least generously defined poverty lines. A similar relationship was found for persistence. But, while consistency was related to the overall level of poverty in a country, this was not true for persistence. To develop further our understanding of different poverty measures the relationship of these variables to economic strain is considered. While deprivation has a substantially stronger impact than income a significant interaction between the two factors is ...
