Summary:"Women and Poverty in Ireland examines the increasing risk of poverty among female-headed households; the interaction of low pay and household poverty and the incidence of "hidden" deprivation experienced by women within households." "The study draws extensively on the 1994 Living in Ireland Survey, a national survey of over 4,000 households undertaken to explore the extent of poverty in Ireland." "Women and Poverty in Ireland advances our knowledge and understanding of factors that contribute to the increased risk of poverty for Irish women. It should inform anti-poverty strategies and policies and is particularly relevant in the context of the Irish government's National Anti-Poverty Strategy."--BOOK JACKET.
