Comparison of the contribution of minimum income schemes in Europe to social resilience in periods of crisis

We analyse the role of minimum income schemes during economic crises with EUROMOD as part of a study for the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Introducing different recession scenarios, we compare the stabilising effect of minimum income schemes on poverty, labour market integration and household income across all EU member states. The main objective of the analysis is to gain insights about which types of minimum income schemes are especially capable of mitigating the consequences of macroeconomic shocks on the aforementioned dimensions.
