This study finds out how often older people living at risk of poverty experience hardship on the ability to pay for usual expenses and unexpected expenses; how these dimensions overlap; and whether the incidence of hardship differs between the poor and the non-poor. The study is based on the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) 2018 survey. The results reveal for example that for the poor, meeting unexpected expenses is a more common problem than meeting usual expenses, although they typically experience hardship on both dimensions.
