This book conceptualises a substantive right to a social minimum, defined as non-discriminatory access to minimum essential levels of subsistence. In a comparative analysis of the Concluding Observations of five UN human rights treaty bodies across all EU Member States in the period of 2009-2019, it addresses the particular challenges of realising the right to a social minimum for persons with disabilities, children, and Roma. The book uses MAQDA for a qualitative content analysis and combines it with a statistical reading of the European survey on income and living conditions (EU-SILC), the official instrument to measure poverty and social exclusion across the EU, addressing the divide between human rights and social policy scholars.
