Resumo(s)
In the past few years, poverty became an issue of increasing concern, in Portugal, turning into the
focus of a growing number of studies that keep drawing our attention.
Starting from the depiction of the several poverty concepts, and after underlining its subjectivity,
we intend to analyse the event of poverty in its precise occurrence on specific population fractions
(young and elderly people), typifying it from the standpoint of its regional distribution.
For that matter we will assume the perception of relative poverty, taking into consideration the fact
that it is the most commonly used concept within Europe, using the index of monetary poverty.
Therefore, we will regard as poor the individuals who are below the monetary poverty line, usually
adopted by EUROSTAT: those whose net income lies below 60% of the national median
equivalised income.
For that purpose we will be using the data from the latest Portuguese Household Budget Survey
(IOF/2000).
Beyond the previously mentioned depiction, we will seek to analyse the association between
poverty and household dimension.
