Perspectives on Poverty in Europe
By Stephen P. Jenkins (London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) – Department of Social Policy and Administration; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA); University of Essex – Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER))
I address four topics: how our capacities to monitor poverty in Europe have improved substantially over recent decades; how progress on EU poverty reduction has been disappointing and why this has been; conceptual and measurement issues; and the future direction of EU-level anti-poverty actions. I follow in the footsteps of a giant – my perspectives are essentially elaborations of points made by Tony Atkinson.
