HOW DOES POVERTY APPEAR IN EUROPEAN SoOCIETIES TODAY?[editar]

This paper analyses the nature of poverty of European welfare regimes under its quantitative perspective, monetary threshold of poverty, but also under its qualitative perspective.  This approach is particularly present in the entire text.  It analyses, with the help of PHOGHE and the Eurobarometer, the construction of poverty from the social assistance institution; the difference between hereditary poverty and the emerging form of poverty caused by poor labour and personal life conditions; and the perception of poverty by those affected by it.  After referring with detail to the learning curve of child poverty, the article ends with a typological construction of poverty based on a combined analysis of the labour market situation, of forms and intensity of social relations and of the role of social protection systems.
