Systematic review on family demographic processes and in-work poverty

This archive includes all data compiled in the course of a systematic review on the association between family demographic processes and in-work poverty that represents the empirical material used in the following paper: Polizzi, Antonino; Struffolino, Emanuela; van Winkle, Zachary (2022): Family demographic processes and in-work poverty: A systematic review. In: Advances in Life Course Research 52, Article 100462. DOI: <a href="doi.org/10.1016/j.alcr.2022.100462" target=_blank>doi.org/10.1016/j.alcr.2022.100462 </a> This article reviews ever published quantitative evidence on in-work poverty and family demographic processes in OECD and EU-28 countries.

In this systematic review, we first provide a quantitative review of results from analyses that estimated the association between in-work poverty and parental home leaving, union formation, marriage, parenthood, and dissolution of non-marital and marital unions. This allows us to formulate tentative conclusions about whether and in which direction family demographic processes are associated with in-work poverty. Second, we discuss in detail conceptual and methodological advances in in-work poverty research, that is analyses that deviated from the more conventional approaches adopted in the analyses selected for the quantitative review or that accounted for the interaction between family demographic processes and individual or context characteristics.
