This article offers a comparative analysis of gender inequality within the working poor population, across 31 European countries. Our results show that women’s disadvantage in the probability of being working poor is higher in countries where they are employed to a greater extent. Labor market characteristics and work-family conciliation policies connected directly to women’s participation are discussed as salient factors.
