| Summary: | The developments in the current financial and economic crisis are not yet predictable, but it is already considered the worst since ’29. Many of the strategies adopted by national governments eventually undermine the European social model. The weakening of the welfare state in the current economic situation could give households a feeling of uncertainty even without, or before, a real worsening of their material conditions. In this article we investigate the changes in the relationship between objective and subjective indicators of poverty in ten European countries. The analysis is conducted by estimating a fixed effects model on Eu Silc longitudinal data from 2007 to 2009. Actually our data show that, in the first years of the crisis, the households’ perception of their subjective poverty has changed only as a result of changes in their incomes or goods. |
