This study of Ireland examines the increasing risk of poverty among female-headed households; the interaction of low pay and household poverty; and the incidence of hidden deprivation experienced by women within households. It draws extensively on the 1994 Living in Ireland survey, a national survey of over 4000 households undertaken to explore the extent of poverty in Ireland.
