Conference (European Social Policy Association) - Stream 25:
Economic crisis,
poverty and poverty reactions
14th-16th
September 2017, Lisbon, Portugal
The global economic downturn has undermined life
chances and prospects of people across Europe. With the
adverse impacts of the
‘Great Recession’ only gradually becoming clearer, the
research and policy
interest in its consequences is more relevant than ever. While
the main
patterns of the recession have been well-explored, there is a
need in further
exploring the longer-term consequences on people’s life
outcomes, the life
phases at which people faced an increased risk, as well as the
important
question how policy reactions and policy context have
moderated the most
negative outcomes of the recession. Furthermore, research
needs to take into
account the differing impact of the recession across European
countries.
We
invite the submission of papers on a range of
topics related to poverty, policy and the economic crisis,
including:
– poverty trends in times of economic crisis and how policy
affects these
– long-lasting poverty consequences of an economic crisis
and policies to
prevent these
– economic crisis, poverty and policy in the life-course
– what long-term economic depression means for the use of
relative concepts of
poverty
– policy reactions to the economic depression and their
outcomes
