    Abstract

    The measure of “consistent” poverty developed in previous research at the Economic and Social Research Institute has been used extensively in measuring the extent of poverty in Ireland and trying to understand the causal processes that produce and perpetuate it. This has helped to inform the National Anti-Poverty Strategy, and has had a major impact on the way it has framed its targets. The central aim of this study is to re-assess in a fundamental way with new data how this measure is now best constructed, in the light of current living standards and expectations. It employs for this purpose data from the Central Statistics Office’s new EU-SILC survey, initiated in 2003, which is to be the key source for monitoring developments in income and living standards into the future.
