Figure 5 Poorer households are more likely to get income from occupations that are subject to the greatest employment and income risk in Southern, Western and Northern Europe. In Central and Eastern Europe, a higher share of income from agriculture among the poorest 20% of households shields these households from the crisis compared to other income groups.
