Where more adults move into work, the risk of moving into poverty decreases in Belgium, while increasing in Denmark, Iceland and Luxembourg. Meanwhile, remaining in a jobless household is associated with a higher risk of entering poverty in Cyprus, Estonia and Hungary, and with a lower risk in Belgium. Finally, children in households that are no longer jobless by time t+1, i.e. where at least one adult finds work, are significantly more likely to enter poverty in Estonia and Hungary. Using a moving poverty line produces qualitatively similar findings (estimates available from the authors on request).
