Resumo(s)
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.
