“…The author is convinced that the paper fills a gap in research that mostly focuses only on labour market exclusion identified on the basis of very low work intensity. The comprehensive work intensity analysis provided in this paper is important because also other degrees of work intensity may be associated with poverty and social exclusion (Kis andGábos, 2016, Kalinowski, 2018). Social policies should then be targeted at persons with reduced work intensity, as confirmed by Blatná (2018).…”

“…This paper does not deal only with low (or very low) work intensity, as other degrees of work intensity can also be associated with poverty and social exclusion. For example, Kis and Gábos (2016) showed that in the new member states of the EU not only low and very low household work intensity is positively associated with a higher risk of consistent poverty, but also medium work intensity. Naturally, higher work intensity is positively correlated with social inclusion.…”

Not only unemployment itself but also the reduced work intensity of a household has a major impact on the social exclusion of a person. The work intensity of households is currently being monitored in Europe mainly for purposes of identifying those people or households that are excluded from the labour market. The households’ work intensity directly affects the inclusion or exclusion from the labour market, which is one of the three social exclusion dimensions. Moreover, it also, as confirmed by several studies, fundamentally affects the other two dimensions of social exclusion, namely income poverty and material deprivation. The aim of the paper was to assess which factors in interaction with the economic activity status of a person significantly affect the household’s work intensity and, depending on these factors, to estimate the household’s work intensity. For this purpose, the general linear model and the associated analysis of marginal means and the contrast analysis were used. The analyses are based on a database EU-SILC 2020 for the Slovak Republic and performed in the SAS Enterprise Guide and by means of PROC GLM in the SAS programming language using CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. The article examines between which levels of significant factors there is a significant difference in terms of a household’s work intensity and in particular provides estimates of work intensity depending on the household type, educational attainment level and the age of a person. At the same time, in all three cases households are broken down by the economic activity status of the person. The presented analyses revealed categories of persons that are the most and the least threatened by labour market exclusion from the point of view of the considered factors.

“…Its calculation is based on a highly standardized methodology; it has a clear interpretation and strong policy relevance. Nonetheless, it has been criticized under many respects, and in the EU, it has been complemented by other measures (Kis & Gábos, ; Marlier, Cantillon, Nolan, Bosch, & Rie, ). Some criticisms, for example, relevant to our analysis, are those that follow.…”

We analyze whether the risk of poverty deteriorates with the crisis in France, Greece, Italy and Spain, for different categories of households, individual features and policy instruments, such as the regional European Structural Funds. We find that the impact of the economic recession was heterogeneous, deteriorating the status of temporary workers, self‐employed, single and female‐headed households, while the risk of poverty decreased relatively for larger households with dependent children and elderly members. We also find that targeted funds toward human capital investment are associated to decreasing the risk of poverty, but the crisis slowed down their effects.

“…According to many Czech and Slovak authors (e. g. Piscová 2014;Kubalčíková 2015;Vávrová 2015;Šprocha et al 2015), seniors are becoming a group at risk of social exclusion, not only due to their deteriorating health conditions, but mainly because of their declining socioeconomic status. Kis and Gábos (2015) state that characteristics such as age or household composition have been found to play an important role in predicting dimensions of poverty.…”

The paper looks at the life situation of Czech and Slovak seniors between 2005 and 2016. The aim is to analyze data from the national standardized surveys (EU-SILC) and, based on the analyzed data, describe living conditions (an objectively measured standard of living and poverty rate) and subjective life satisfaction with an emphasis on seniors living in single-person households. The results show a large increase in the number of single-person households. The analysis of Czech households' income situation showed that the per-member monthly income for the whole population was similar to the average per-member income in households of seniors, while the group of the elderly living in single-person households appeared to be the most vulnerable one in terms of income. The differences between the seniors' incomes and expenditures indicated that about 40% of this data segment's members lived near the poverty line, while the most endangered segment members were seniors from single-person households.
