Description:

Indicator A4 provides a breakdown of indicator A1 by migrant background, focusing on the particular impact of migrant background on poverty among women. The at-risk-of-poverty rate is defined as the percentage of persons below the monetary poverty line (60 % of the median national adult equivalent household disposable income in each Member State).

This poverty indicator is based on income inequality in the country and thus is a relative concept of monetary poverty. Comparing relative poverty levels between different countries does not sufficiently take into account the differences in standards of living. For example, a person who is relatively poor in a rich country can suffer less material deprivation than someone who is living in a country with low overall living standards. Furthermore, the indicator does not directly measure women's poverty because this measurement refers to individuals living in households and presupposes that resources are equally shared among household members.

Migrant background is defined through country of birth into broad groups: native-born and foreign-born, with the latter further divided into two groups (non-EU born: born outside of the EU-28 or EU born: born in another EU country). Country of birth is defined as the country of residence of the person's mother at the time of their birth.

Due to data availability at Member State level, only the adult population (18 and older) is taken into account and data are not presented in smaller age groups, even though the experience of poverty might be different in younger and older populations.
