Combating Poverty in Europe cover

Title first published in 2003. This informative volume addresses the impact of the EU on national policies to combat poverty in European member states. The editors bring together leading academics to discuss the issue of and fight against poverty in Germany in particular, within the context of ongoing trends and debates across other European states.

'Leading authors take stock of poverty and deprivation in European countries, combining first-hand empirical analyses with a thorough evaluation of anti-poverty policies, including special strategies like activation or care vouchers to combat child poverty. All key areas of poverty are analysed in depth - income, labour market, immigration, family and children. A state-of-the-art account about a problem that keeps haunting European societies.'
