Abstract
In this paper we investigate the determinants of poverty transitions in Italy, using the EU-SILC panel survey (2007-2010). Our findings show that education and employment play a key role in preventing poverty, and ease poverty exits. Moreover, the presence of children and a new birth hamper household poverty exits. However, poverty transitions are also state-dependent, influenced by previous poverty experience: those who have already been in poverty are less likely to exit, and more likely to re-enter poverty.
