As Luxembourg launches its first National Action Plan to prevent and combat poverty, a new LISER Policy Brief provides an in-depth historical analysis of poverty trends in Luxembourg. Using four decades of harmonised data from the Luxembourg Income Study, the Brief documents the evolution of relative poverty since 1985, highlighting rising overall rates and contrasting trends among different sociodemographic groups. It also sheds light on the key forces shaping these dynamics, including unequal shifts in median income and income levels at the bottom of the distribution. This overview provides policymakers with essential context for understanding today’s challenges and anticipating future developments.
