How can poverty reduction be improved and at what cost? Available evidence suggests that social investment strategies … and employment policies are important but not sufficient. In order to reduce the number of people below the relative at-risk-of-poverty … paper we show that this is not a cheap option. We calculate the hypothetical cost of closing the poverty gap while …
