Net income of social assistance recipients as % of the at-risk of poverty rate threshold |
| Breakdowns |
Jobless household type (single without children; lone parent with two children; couple with two children) |
| Comments/ Policy relevance |
This refers to the income of people living in households that only rely on “last resort” social assistance benefits (including related housing benefits) and for which no other income stream is available (from other social protection benefits – e.g. unemployment or disability schemes – or from work). The aim is to evaluate if the safety nets provided to those households most excluded from the labour market are sufficient to lift people out of poverty.
It is only calculated for countries where non-categorical social benefits are in place and is especially relevant when analysing MWP indicators. |
