Abstract

This paper uses a regional perspective to analyse the progression of the
risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE) rate in Spain during the recent
crisis period. Various methodological issues related to how the
components of the AROPE rate are integrated have brought into question
its suitability as the Europe 2020 strategy indicator. As these problems are
accentuated in the analysis of individual territories, this paper examines
the effect of using regional poverty thresholds. When these are included,
the risk of poverty or social exclusion is more consistent with the standard
of living enjoyed in each territory. In addition, this paper mainly on the
poverty rate by the application of a multiple linear regression model.
Nonetheless, the explanatory power of the deprivation and employment
indicators diminishes when using regional poverty thresholds.
