Abstract: This paper examines the impact of negative income, as identified in EU-Silc on household features and housing affordability. By exploring the prevalence and characteristics of households reporting negative income, the research aims to assess how these households manage housing costs, maintain stable living conditions, and access affordable housing options. Key topics include the determinants of negative income, its correlation with other socioeconomic indicators, and the varying effects on housing affordability across demographics and regions. The study also investigates how negative income levels influence housing tenure choices and whether housing affordability assistance measures effectively address the challenges faced by these households. Findings will provide insights into housing policy implications and highlight the need for targeted support for those with limited income stability to promote equitable access to affordable housing.
