Gendered Poverty Risks and Triggers: A Study of Family, Work, and Gender Equality in Norway and Britain

Explore the poverty risks and triggers related to family, work, and gender equality in Norway and Britain. Analyzing macro societal trends, family dynamics, and gender roles, this study examines factors such as unemployment, illness, accidents, divorce, and pregnancy. Data from the Norwegian Level of Living Panel Survey (1997-2002) and the British Household Panel Survey (1997-2004) provide insights into how these factors influence income poverty over time.
