This report provides an analysis of income and poverty in Austria in the late 1990s. Although citizens in Austria are less in danger of poverty than their counterparts in most other OECD countries, poverty is not a marginal phenomenon. Single parents without employment, long term unemployed, non EU citizens, persons of working age living in jobless households and single pensioners face the highest risks.
