abstract: 'This article explores the specific effects of work-related family

  policies on poverty risks among various educational groups. Based on

  European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data

  (2005-2010) and policy indicators drawn from the Multilinks project, we

  estimated a series of multilevel models for approximately 123,000

  households with children below the age of 6years in 25 European

  countries. The results emphasize clear education-specific differences

  and thus are essential for the ongoing social-policy discourse.

  Interestingly, with respect to infant childcare, the strongest

  poverty-reducing effect was identified among women with mid-level

  education and their families, followed by low-educated women. In

  contrast, full-time care for children aged 3-5years reduced the poverty

  risk only among women with mid- and high-level education and their

  families, whereas a medium length of well-paid parental leave was

  observed to be of particular importance to low-qualified mothers.'
