I enjoyed very much my book talk (Visions of Inequality) in Budapest at TARKI. Big time thanks to Istvan Toth for the invitation, excellent remarks and organization, to Eva Fodor, Andrea Brandolini and Brian Nolan for useful comments.
Our results can enrich the ongoing debate on the European Union’s social target indicator (Darvas, 2019; Jenkins 2020) and provide further insights for the developments of alternative poverty thresholds (Goedemé et al., 2019; Goedemé et al., 2022).
When using the anchored at-risk-of-poverty rate among the active-age population (AROP(a)) as the dependent variable, the association between employment and poverty becomes substantially stronger – up to four times higher than when using the floating poverty line.
3. The event will take a hybrid form. Places for a limited number of people will be available at TÁRKI (Budapest Nádor utca 7), and the event can be followed online in the form of a Zoom app and Facebook stream. Please register here:
