Abstract

The main purpose of the paper is to build a path model of latent variables: poverty, relative deprivation and social exclusion. Applying the SEM methodology, the poverty is measured in a multivariate approach eliminating the need to cut off the poor’s subset by a fixed poverty line. The focus is on estimating hypothetical structural path coefficients on the one hand and testing their significance on the other. The computations are carried out using the Statistica 8.0 software based on the 2003 Hungarian Household Survey, taking the household as the unit of observation.
