The current poverty rate and the persistent poverty rate are both included in the EU's portfolio of primary indicators … drawing on empirical analysis of EU-SILC and ECHP data. Using a prototypical model of poverty dynamics, we explain how the … near-linear relationship arises and show how the model can be used to predict persistent poverty rates from current poverty …
