With chapter on "Distributional Effects of Publicly Funded Childcare"
European Inequalities: Social Inclusion and Income Distribution in the
European Union
Edited by Terry Ward (Applica), Orsolya Lelkes (European Centre), Holly
Sutherland (ISER), István György Tóth (TARKI).
This book summarizes four years of research on social inclusion and
income distribution across the European Union carried out in the
framework of the European Observatory on the Social Situation and
Demography (http://www.euro.centre.org/detail.php?xml_id=508), which has
been established by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social
Affairs and Equal Opportunities of the European Commission.
It gives an overview of the comparative information that is available
for the EU Member States on income distribution, poverty and its causes,
access to benefits and social services and material deprivation. It also
offers a good insight into the potential of European surveys and notably
the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), the main
survey used for the analysis presented in this publication.
