Abstract

Questo lavoro tratta il tema della misurazione della povertà nell’Unione Europea. Partendo da una discussione sui diversi approcci concettuali, vengono presentati gli attuali indicatori di povertà adottati nell’UE, evidenziandone alcune criticità. Il lavoro affronta anche alcune questioni ancora aperte nel dibattito sulla misurazione della povertà e delinea le sfide future della statistica ufficiale.
