The Influence of Social Policy Expenditures on Poverty Reduction
Original language description
This article examines the impact of social security spending of a state on reducing poverty in thirty European countries. It was chosen several indicators such as: people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in %, severely materially deprived people in % and social benefits in % of GDP. The methods used for the analysis of relations of selected indicators are correlation analysis and subsequent cluster analysis to define groups of countries with similar nature of the causation. It was chosen thirty European countries, mostly EU member states. Surveyed period is for all states from 2005 to 2012. The results of the cluster analysis are visualized by cartograms showing strength of dependence between examined indicators across particular countries. The relationship between level of social transfers and poverty rate indicate surprising results. In several countries poverty rate has been deepened, even though the level of expenditures on social policy has increased. Individual states can't be clearly assigned geographically or in terms of a model of social policy. Disparity in the distribution of countries in comparison with dependencies poverty and social contributions shows varying efficiency of social spend on the affected population.
