This book examines the link between poverty on the one hand and labour market participation and the distributive capacity of welfare states on the other hand. It focuses on the working-age population and the evolutions in Europe during the 'good economic years' before the financial crisis. The book provides social research in an accessible way. It introduces the reader into the various concepts of measuring poverty and exclusion and discusses data limitations. Obviously, we are not the first to observe worrying trends in poverty or inequality. The specific approach in this book may be summarized as follows. First, to gain a better understanding of the nexus of labour market participation, social redistribution and poverty, we focus on the distinction between work-poor and work-rich households. Second, we augment a traditional 'pre-post approach' of the impact of social transfers with regression analysis and policy indicators. Third, we refine the common method of measuring the redistributive effect of social expenditure, particularly for in-kind benefits . Fourth, we give due consideration to concepts and data. Most of the analyses are based on the European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), but when relevant and feasible, we include alternative surveys (in the case of Germany, SILC and SOEP data) and additional data, i.e. administrative expenditure data and indicators that inform directly on policy. Finally, we discuss our observations with reference to the employment-centred welfare reforms that were prominent in European countries since the mid-1990s, and link the analysis with a broader perspective on the socio-economic, demographic and paradigmatic evolutions in contemporary welfare states.

Looks Expensive!
This watch looks expensive! Can you see the raised beveled top of the watch? Absolutely love it, now I will say it's a tab bit thin but I don't mind that.

Diseño increíble por el precio
El reloj es demasiado bonito u de una buena calidad tomando en cuenta el precio, lo único que no me gusto es el cristal que como se describe es tipo diamante desde ciertos ángulos impide ver la carátula del reloj pienso en llevarlo a un relojero a cambiar por un cristal plano, me gustaría comprarlo en otros colores tiene muchas variedades y todos lucen bonitos

Stylish for going out to a nice event, and comfortable
I ordered the CHEETAH Two-Tone Watch for Men for when I go out to nice places, such as to church. It is very attractive and mostly easy to read. It is difficult to identify the hands in some low to mid lighting because the face isn't flat and will catch a glare. The included tool worked well to remove some of the links to fit my wrist. When I first put it on I didn't like the feel, mainly because I hadn't made it as loose as another nice watch that I use and it felt different. I ended up wearing it for 3 days straight, including to bed and it was comfortable enough that I noticed it less than my other watch. Now that I'm used to the different feel I'm totally loving this watch!

Best watch!
Bought this for my husband. He gets so many compliments on it! It looks expensive and it’s well made! Only thing is he said some times the date is behind a bit. Other than that it’s very nice!
