The analysis of poverty persistence received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper we explore the role of the adopted poverty measure in the analysis of its persistence. Specifically, we consider three measures: the risk of poverty, the severe material deprivation and subjective poverty, motivated by the understanding of poverty as a complex phenomenon and for which no single measure can effectively capture its several dimensions. The empirical analysis is based on the 2013-2016 longitudinal sample of the EU-SILC survey. We focus on Italian households with dependent children. We apply a correlated random effects probit models with endogenous initial conditions to assess genuine state dependence after controlling for structural household characteristics and variables related to participation in the labour market. A strong state dependence emerges, regardless of the considered poverty measure thus providing evidence of poverty and social exclusion persistence. We also find evidence of relevance of initial conditions for all measures in focus. Nonetheless, structural household characteristics and household level economic variables play roles that are often different in the three parallel models; these differences are consistent with the aims and nature of the alternative measures.

“…Reducing the level of poverty and social exclusion is one of the key objectives of the European Union, also included in the Europe 2020 strategy (Iwacewicz-Orłowska, 2017; Rogge and Konttinen, 2018;Ayllón and Gábos, 2017;Pęciak and Tusińska, 2015). The literature of the subject indicates characteristic features of the phenomenon of social exclusion in the European Union and in individual European countries, its dimensions, mechanisms and manifestations (Thalassinos and Pociovalisteanu, 2009;Thalassinos et al, 2012).…”

Purpose: The aim is to reveal and determine the current state of poverty in rural areas in the regions of the Visegrád Group. By comparing the basic features used for measuring poverty, it has been pointed out that there are spatial differences between the regions analyzed. Design/Methodology/Approach: The basic indicators used in this area include the income measure, the relative poverty indicator (at-risk poverty rate-ARPR) and the aggregate indicator (at-risk-of-poverty and social exclusion-AROPE). Findings: In many households in rural areas, as in Poland and Hungary, there is a problem consisting in the fact that financial resources are insufficient to cover the basic needs. As it results from the analyses (especially from at-risk-of-poverty indicator after deducting housing costs), the level of satisfying the remaining needs in rural areas is very low. Practical Implications: This issue is important not only in theoretical term, but also for application purposes. Many households in the Visegrád Group area experience poverty. According to the analyses, the problem of the risk of poverty concerns especially rural residents in Poland and Hungary. It is necessary to take measures in the sphere of social policy that would limit the threat of social exclusion. Originality/Value: Social exclusion and poverty are alarming problems for modern societies they are obstacles in achieving sustainable social development. The paper discusses important and current issues related to poverty and social exclusion in rural areas in the Visegrád Group countries.

“…Subject literature also points to the need to study the relations and dependencies between particular indicators used for monitoring the realization of the objectives connected with limiting poverty (Ayllon & Gabos, 2017, p. 1026, which is undoubtedly important from the point of view of social policy, not only in Poland, but throughout the European Union.…”
