The Online Information Service is organized in two parts.

1. A section organized by topics

The five first topics deal with the question of poverty, means-tested benefits, in-work benefits, minimum wage and return-to-work programmes. Other topics will follow : income inequalities, types of jobs, social indicators, etc. The documents quoted (mainly in French and in English) cover France, Europe, Northern America and many other countries. All papers are on line. The Internet address of the organization hosting the document as well as an abstract, whenever available, are on line too.

2. An information bulletin

Twice a month, a bulletin collects documentary researches conducted on the Internet. The selected articles deal with the issues the Cerc is currently working on. They are classified in four categories : poverty, employment, income, other social issues. All documents are downloadable. When possible, Cerc-Online Information Bulletin includes abstracts. Quotes dealing with poverty, means-tested benefits, in-work benefits, minimum wage and return-to-work programmes are added to our data bases by topics. Information bulletins are removed after three months.

Update information

The bulletins from n° 118  (January 08, 2007) to 128 (May 29, 2007)  have been withdrawn.
