Men
Health

6. Condense the dashboard ?
Synthetic domain summaries
Example: dropping housing items rejected by stakeholders!
Multidimensional Poverty Index?
include longitudinal information -> data demands!
agree on weights in participatory process?
Alternative: Typology of multiple disadvantage & persistence?
Structuration, precarisation and experience of opposites
MPI/Typology exclude aggregations & complementary data?
Life expectancy & Educational mobility
Homelessness & Employment data other than EU-SILC

7. What have we achieved?
Europe 2020: lift 20 million people out of poverty or social exclusion (Europe 2020 social target group)
Risk of poverty
Low work intensity
Severe material deprivation
Austrian national target: 235,000 people
National framework of complementary national indicators: standard of living, work, housing, education, and health

Permanent forum for exchange (twice a year)

9. Where can we go from there?
Poverty measurement: Ex post monitoring through national indicators
Ex ante impact assessment: new system  “outcome oriented impact assessment” (OOIA) with Federal Budgeting Act 2013
Social Affairs  Europe 2020 social target group
Social Reform Microsimulation (SORESI): quantitative impact assessment
OOIA
