Objective

An Innovative Methodological Approach

This project aims to carry out a comprehensive study of poverty and deprivation combining objective and subjective approaches (how people feel) in countries of the European Union.

This complementary approach will help overcome the limitations identified in official poverty measurements in the European Union. It will provide complementary information that can be very useful in designing more effective measures against poverty. By comparing the results of the objective and subjective poverty analysis, we will obtain a classification of the population that will guide the subsequent inferential analysis.
