| Summary: | The paper focuses on the poverty and social exclusion measurement. The aim of the paper is to analyse the factors influencing the differences in at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion (AROPE) rates and their development across the Visegrad countries. As these factors, we consider the different structure of households by their social status (employed, unemployed, retired, other inactive) and the different highest attained level of education (primary, secondary, tertiary). We use data from the EU-SILC and decompose the AROPE rates as the price indices of unit value. We prove the significant impact of the structure of households by their social status in years 2005–2017 on the AROPE rate comparison for all Visegrad countries and the effect of educational composition on the AROPE rate development for all Visegrad countries except Hungary. |
