Abstract

The authors compare the incidence of and characteristics associated with child poverty in the UK and Hungary in 1993. Using a model families approach, the differences between systems of state support for families with and without children are examined, and conclusions drawn about their orientations towards the welfare of women and children. The outcomes of these different orientations are then tested empirically by analysing microdata from household budget surveys in the UK and Hungary. Results from the model families analysis and the microdata analysis are largely consistent, and show that families with children in children in Hungary are less likely to fall into poverty than their counterparts in the UK.
