| dc.description.abstract | This work project analyses the impacts of a decrease in Abono de Fam´ılia, the Portuguese Child Allowance, generated by a bonus cut legislated in 2010, on the poverty status and intensity of the poorest families. We implement a microsimu lation analysis using EU-SILC microdata (2006-2014). We find that increases be tween 40% and 80% in Abono were needed to eliminate child poverty and between 12% and 18% of the eligible households did not receive it. The bonus’ impacts are larger than the impacts of its cut due to the economic context and heterogeneity by type of family exists. | pt_PT |
