Poverty in Europe by gender: The role of education and labour status

Rosa Aisa, Gemma Larramona and Fernando Pueyo

Economic Analysis and Policy, 2019, vol. 63, issue C, 24-34

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyse the determinants of poverty among workers in Europe by gender, using data for 25 countries obtained from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) database, for the period 2010 to 2013. The raw data show that the risk of poverty is similar for working men and women. Our study reveals that this homogeneity is only superficial; women should be in a relatively better position, since they have higher rates of tertiary education, but this advantage disappears when they access the market, because most part-time jobs are occupied by women. Asymmetries by gender are also present among occupations, but not between permanent and temporary workers.
