Welfare agencies increasingly rely on targeting to ensure that limited resources reach those deemed most in need. A new WP by @pietrovaletto.bsky.social and @ivemarx.bsky.social shows how asset testing in the EU and US often undermines their stated goal of poverty reduction.

We were honoured to welcome Dr. Lisa Suckert (University of Antwerp) for an insightful seminar on how we can conceptualize the multiple, overlapping crises. She introduced a novel theoretical framework that explores layers of uncertainty from an imagined futures perspective.

Our very own Sakura recently presented her work assessing the welfare outcomes of Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programmes. She evaluated a hypothetical expansion in the Colombian CCT programme, estimating the impact of targeting based on a multidimensional well-being proxy.

Wouter presented his work on using the maximal position approach to identify older Europeans with clustered disadvantages. Using cross-country data from SHARE, he examined the correlation between clustered disadvantages and mortality rates, and their persistence.

What would it mean to live in a “Zero Poverty World”?
That was the guiding question of the ESPAnet/AIPRIL Workshop on Minimum Income Protection at @uantwerpen.
A great exchange on today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities for MIP.

Stukje over nieuw links en oud(er) links.
Is politiek links gedoemd? Of kan Frank Vandenbroucke het socialisme nog redden?
In de VS zitten de Democraten in crisis, in Europa krijgt links overal klappen. De enige hoop voor de socialisten wordt volgens Ive Marx binnenkort 70 en luistert naar de naam Frank Vandenbroucke.

Ontgroeien op Vlaamse wijze: met bureaucratie en pestregeltjes fnuiken we de kansen op een hogere productiviteit
In ‘degrowth’-rangschikkingen doen we het goed, stelt Ive Marx vast. Dat vindt hij jammer, want een logge bureaucratie en een in regels gegoten wantrouwen tegenover arbeidsmigranten frustreren bedrijven op hun pad naar groei en innovatie.

I stumble upon Tony Atkinson’s last, unfinished book in my temporary office at the GC. It has this great first sentence. It immediately strikes a connection with the reader. I can hear him say it. That’s how you start a book.

Nergens zo duidelijk als in de zelfstandigenpensioenen. De afschaffing van de correctiecoëfficiënt zonder bijdragen te verhogen, was een gigantische cadeau. Dit regeerakkoord heeft de mond vol van harmonisering over ambtenarenpensioenen, maar zwijgt in alle talen over die cadeau voor zelfstandigen.
