  Αποκαλύπτοντας τους αόρατους φτωχούς

  Rania Antonopoulos, Ajit Zacharias, and Thomas Masterson
  Abstract

  Τα τυπικά πρότυπα για τη μέτρηση της φτώχειας υποθέτουν ότι όλα τα νοικοκυριά και τα άτομα διαθέτουν αρκετό χρόνο για να ασχοληθούν επαρκώς με τις ανάγκες των μελών του νοικοκυριού (μαγείρεμα, καθάρισμα, φροντίδα των παιδιών, κοκ), καθήκοντα που είναι απολύτως αναγκαία για την επίτευξη ενός ελάχιστου βιοτικού επιπέδου. Αλλά αυτή η υπόθεση είναι ψευδής. Με […]

  Why Time Deficits Matter

  Rania Antonopoulos, Ajit Zacharias, and Thomas Masterson
  Abstract

  Customarily, income poverty incidence is judged by the ability of individuals and households to gain access to some level of minimum income based on the premise that such access ensures the fulfillment of basic material needs. However, this approach neglects to take into account the necessary (unpaid) household production requirements without which basic needs cannot […]

  The quality of match of three statistical matches used in the LIMTIP estimates for Argentina, Chile, and Mexico is described. The first match combines the 2005 Uso del Tiempo (UT 2005) with the 2006 Encuesto Annual de Hogares (EAH) for Argentina. The second match combines the 2007 Encuesta Experimental sobre Uso del Tiempo en el […]

  The Measurement of Time and Income Poverty

  Ajit Zacharias
  Abstract

  Official poverty thresholds are based on the implicit assumption that the household with poverty-level income possesses sufficient time for household production to enable it to reproduce itself as a unit. Several authors have questioned the validity of the assumption and explored alternative methods to account for time deficits in the measurement of poverty. I critically […]

  Time and Poverty from a Developing Country Perspective

  Rania Antonopoulos, and Emel Memiş
  Abstract

  This study is concerned with the measurement of poverty in the context of developing countries. We argue that poverty rankings must take into account time use dimensions of paid and unpaid work jointly. Reviewing the current state of the literature on this topic, our methodology introduces a critical but missing analytical distinction between time poverty […]
