Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los grandes problemas económicos y sociales que enfrentan las sociedades contemporáneas es el desempleo y subempleo de buena parte de la Población Económicamente Activa (PEA). Frente el deterioro del empleo, la reducción en la cantidad total de salarios que perciben los trabajadores -que afectan sus niveles de consumo y su calidad de vida-, se ha propuesto como alternativa viable, la introducción de una renta básica o ingreso ciudadano universal que sirva como fuente alternativa de ingresos para la población más vulnerable. La pobreza tiende a extenderse y no hay forma de reducirla, a pesar de la aplicación de amplias y muy difundidas políticas sociales, esto se debe a que en el fondo, la pobreza es explicada fundamentalmente por la inequitativa distribución del ingreso, que a su vez, es explicada por las bajas y pobres remuneraciones que reciben los trabajadores en los diversos puestos de trabajo. La precarización del trabajo ha traído como consecuencia la agudización de la mala distribución del ingreso y esto acarrea una estrecha demanda efectiva por parte de los afectados que a su vez incide en una reducción en la calidad de vida. Para revertir esta tendencia es que se ha propuesto como derecho universal la implantación de una renta básica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poverty rate is one of the most visible ways in which nations measure the economic well-being of their low-income citizens. To gauge whether a person is poor, European states often focus on a person's relative position in the income distribution to measure poverty while the United States looks at a fixed-income threshold that represents a lower relative standing in the overall distribution to gauge. In Europe, low income is perceived as only one aspect of being socially excluded, so that examining other relative dimensions of family and individual welfare is important. This broad emphasis on relative measures of well-being that extend into non-pecuniary aspects of people's lives does not always imply that more people would ultimately be counted as poor. This is particularly true if one must be considered poor in multiple dimensions to be considered poor, in sharp contrast to the American emphasis on income as the sole dimension. With contributions from the world's foremost authorities on income and social measurement, the book provides detailed discussions of specific issues from a European perspective followed by commentary from American observers. The volume considers (1) current standards of poverty measurement in the European Union and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, (2) challenges in extending those measures to account for the value of the provision of in-kind and cash benefits from the government, (3) the interaction of poverty measures with social assistance, (4) non-income but monetary measures of poverty, and (5) multi-dimensional measures of poverty. The result is a definitive reference for poverty researchers and policymakers seeking to disengage politics from measurement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich VWL - Fallstudien, Länderstudien, Note: 2, Hochschule Mainz (Fachbereich III: Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: International economics, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: It can be thought, that poverty does not really exist in society in times of prosperity and technical progress in industrialised and high developed countries. The great prosperity is often celebrated in speeches by governments of high industrialised states and their goods are advertised through all channels of marketing. These countries have the highest living standards in the world. For example the United States of America, on the one hand they spend a lot of money for aerospace technologies, for the defence industry and other innovative technologies but on the other hand the country has to face a high rate of poverty within its population. Poverty is expanding quickly caused due to the raise of unemployment and is not longer only a problem for developing countries in the third world. Poverty and income distribution data are a very important indicator in order to evaluate the economic well-being of a state. Income inequality and poverty data must be differed regarding characteristics such as race, level of education, age, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every economic system exists only to satisfy human wants, yet most systems fail to do so. Taking a keen look at the gap between goal and result, Stanley Lebergott appraises public policies relating to the U.S. distribution of income and wealth today. Part I shows that many programs have disappointed their proponents because certain basic assumptions were not understood. The author's new data suggest more realistic answers to much-debated questions: Are the rich getting richer? How much "upward mobility" exists? What approaches to poverty, starvation, and discrimination are practical today? In Part II, size distributions are derived for wealth in 1970, for income in 1900, and for white and non-white income for the period 1900-1970. These data include new estimates for key items in the standard of living since 1900, with detail on services that have dominated the "postindustrial" economy. Originally published in 1976.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much popular belief, and public policy, rests on the idea that those born into poverty have it in their powers to escape. But the persistence of poverty and ever-growing economic inequality around the world has led to many economists to seriously question the model of individual economic self-determination when it comes to the poor. In this book, the contributors argue that there are many conditions that may trap individuals, groups, and whole economies in intractable poverty. For the first time the editors have brought together the perspectives of economies, economic history, and sociology to assess what we know, and don't know, about such traps.
