CHARACTERISTIC OF IN-WORK POVERTY – A COMPARISON BETWEEN ROMANIA AND EUROPEAN UNION
Journal Title: Journal of Economic Development, Environment and People - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the characteristics of the working poor in Romania compared to other European Member States. In-work poverty is an important aspect in the discussions regarding the effectiveness of employment in preventing the risk of poverty. The in-work poverty is the result of several factors among which we mention those related to the individual characteristics, household composition, and labour market policies. In Romania, the level of in-work poverty continues to remain high for the overall employed population aged 18 years and over and this evolution is due to the part-time working program, the temporary contracts, and the low level of education. The last part of the article presents the measures identified in the scientific literature to reduce the in-work poverty.
