Poverty and deprivation in Europe

Poverty and deprivation in Europe / Brian Nolan and Christopher T. Whelan.

This text combines a focus on multidimensionality with a comparative approach to survey the role of non-monetary indicators of deprivation. It shows how poverty varies across countries and over time, who is affected, and which groups should be targeted in framing anti-poverty strategies.
