Andriopoulou andTsakloglou (2015) used both the ECHP 1994-2001 and the EU-SILC 2005-2008 to analyse the effects of employment, income (i.e. changes in earnings) and demographic events on adults' movements in and out of poverty in all EU countries that had valid data. They found that changes in labour earnings of the household head is a consistent predictor of poverty transitions in all countries, but more so in the Mediterranean ones, employment events matter more for poverty exits than entries, and demographic events are somewhat more important in Scandinavian countries. First, it uses children, rather than adults or households, as units of analysis.
