66This paper aims at showing to what extent self-perceived poverty in
Europe is associated with speci
fi
c household socioeconomic characteristics and
particular aspects of household/community social capital endowment, in order
to disclose the primary risk factors of family poverty status. Such evidence would
help central and local governments to de
fi
ne those economic and social goals
which should receive more attention by policies aiming at poverty eradication.
In particular, the paper focuses on the associations between a proxy of subjec-
tive poverty (ability to make ends meet) and two sets of variables describing,
respectively, the household socioeconomic characteristics and the household/
community social capital endowment. In order to pursue this aim, a multiple
correspondence analysis is carried out. The empirical analysis is based on the
2009 EU-SILC survey and the Eurostat statistics database. The results show a
relevant association between self-perceived poverty and both household socio-
economic characteristics and social capital. Implications for public policies are
also discussed.
