No 187, LIS Working papers from LIS Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is twofold, partly exploratory; to determine the degree to which Rowntrees poverty cycles are still apparent among the most advanced industrial nations, and partly analytical; to examine how successful different sociopolitical strategies have been in eliminating poverty over the life-cycle. The paper seeks to make a contribution in relation to earlier studies by both examining changes within singular countries and by comparing trends cross-nationally provisions.
