Abstract

While child poverty is a well-examined topic both in country level analyses and cross-country comparisons as well, panel analyses of this notion, especially in European context is far less common. The present paper intend to provide a both longitudinal and cross-country analysis of children's poverty, focusing on people living in families with children. A comparison of Western and Eastern European countries is also an aim of the paper. For analyses paper uses data from the CHER database, a longitudinal harmonised dataset for 16 European countries. Examinations cover the middle period of 1990s, namely four years that between 1994 and 1997, inclusive. A group of seven countries, that includes Hungary, East Germany, Germany (included East Germany), France, United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark, was selected, as representative of different welfare regimes.
