The Working Poor

Ekaterina Kalugina

Chapter 3 in Growing Income Inequalities, 2013, pp 76-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The working poor are individuals who work and who live in poor households. This hybrid, two-level definition — individual for labour market activity and household for the poverty status — complicates both the analysis and interpretation of this phenomenon (Peña-Casas and Latta, 2004; Ponthieux, 2010).
