Abstract

In-work poverty in the Focus of EU Policy: The “Working, Yet Poor” Project in Context

At European level there is currently an unprecedented interest in poverty issues as a whole, and in particular in the role of the labour market and working conditions. In the course of the stable economic development up until the Covid-19 crisis, labour market participation increased and situations of severe material deprivation decreased, but relative poverty rates did not. The increasing incidence of in-work poverty is currently a driving factor behind a number of reforms and initiatives at EU level, and also gives rise to an interest in comprehensive and differentiated research on experiences and developments in selected Member States. The situation in Germany may constitute a particularly relevant case study in several respects.
