Sažetak
The "Sustainable Europe by 2030" initiative aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focuses on various aspects of poverty, including income poverty, social deprivation, and labour market participation. Research on poverty trends in countries with average or above-average incomes is limited, but recent socio-economic changes and the ineffectiveness of anti-poverty programs in these regions highlight the need for such studies. This research employs regression analysis models using panel data, specifically the Ordinary Least Squares and Fixed Effects Models, to estimate the marginal effects of changes in population poverty and the contributing factors. The study found that despite the faster economic growth in the Baltic countries, a decrease in long-term unemployment, and an increasing number of individuals with higher education, these factors did not lead to lower poverty levels than those in Scandinavian countries. Effective poverty reduction in the latter group can be attributed to health and social security policies aimed at reducing poverty, as well as lower income inequality.
