5 Section 1: Definitionalissues
6 Definition SPC «The working poor are those individuals whohave mainlybeen employed duringthe reference year(either in wage and salary employment or as self-employed) and whose household equivalised disposable income is below 60% of national median equivalised income» OECD, academic literature employ similar definitions ( Marx, Nolan )
7 Definitional issues Mixingtwolevelsof analysis(individuallabour market status and household income adjusted for household size) inherently complicates interpretation Widereferenceperiod labour marketand income position during the course of an entire year- equally complicates interpretation (Marx, Nolan)
8 Section 2: Has in-workpoverty increased?

13 Understanding in-work poverty: The (vast) majority of relatively low-paid workers do not live in poor households Manyrelativelyhighup the incomedistribution as theytend to live in multi-earner households Low-paidjobs play to an extent-a rolein reducingthe poverty riskin the double earnerera (I. Marx, B. Nolan, In work poverty in B. Cantillon and F. Vandenbroucke, For Better For Worse, OUP, forthcoming)
14 Understanding in-work poverty But low earnings severely problematic if there are no other incomes(earnedor transfers); the povertyriskriseswiththe number of dependent persons, children or others The core of the working poor consists of sole earners with a family to support. Single parents are relatively overrepresented but the majority are two adult households with children (I. Marx, B. Nolan, In work poverty in B. Cantillon and F. Vandenbroucke, For Better For Worse, OUP, forthcoming)
15 Understanding in-work poverty What matters is the combined labour market position of household members Hence, cross-country differencesare not onlyreflectiveof the extent of low-paid empoyment or job precarity In-work poverty is equally if not more strongly associated with institutional factors affecting household employment patterns, e.g. child care cost and availability, breadwinner bias in labour market institutions...and with inadequacy of welfare state ( e.g. child benefits )

24 conclusion in the years before the crisis in work poverty was not on the rise in most countries, so probably no unavoidable trade off between in work poverty and competiviness in work poverty is strongly associated with low work intensity at the household level, linking in turn to tax and benefit system
25 conclusion where in work poverty was on the rise the poverty reducing capacity of social transfers seems to have declined.likewise, more adequate social transfers accounted at least partly for decreasing in work poverty in Hungary and in the UK ( in the nineties ).
26 conclusion Equally important is the issue of work poor households In many of the rich countries they benefited only partially from expanding labor markets Significant and substantial decreases in poverty reduction through social transfers occurred in many of the rich welfare states but also in some of the new Member States In many countries poverty increased reaching extremely high levels, ranging from 70% in Latvia over 55% in Germany to more than 40% in Finland, Belgium and Sweden.
27 conclusion Enormous differences in distributional effort Thinking about EU wide solidarity presupposes a definition of good fiscal and behaviour and of effective social redistribution
