Η Φτώχεια στο Δήμο Αθηναίων: Στατιστικοί Δείκτες και Ποιοτική Ανάλυση
Abstract
This article examines the social and economic factors affecting the risk of poverty in theMunicipalityofAthens. We used data from the sample survey conducted at the second half of 2012 to a random sample of 800 households.
The research questions are as follows: What is the extent and depth of poverty in Athens municipality? Which are the risk groups? Who are the most affected by the crisis? Are there any differences between poverty rate in Athens municipality and the total population in Greece?
The data analysis is based on simple and complex distributions as well as relative quantitative indicators and qualitative analyses. In particular, it reveals that the risk of poverty in Athens is high, but lower than that of the whole country (2013: 23.1%).
As social expenditure are limited because of the crisis, the survey demonstrates that targeted policies at the local level are necessary to relief groups below the poverty line and those affected by the economic downturn.
