Tim Goedemé

Biography

Tim Goedemé is Senior Fellow of the Herman Deleeck Centre for Social Policy (University of Antwerp), where he directs research on poverty and social protection. Previously, he was Senior Research Officer working on INET’s Employment, Equity and Growth Programme. He is a sociologist by training, with a doctorate from the University of Antwerp (2012). His main research interests include poverty, inequality and social policy, and, more recently, the distributive effects of environmental policies. Current research focuses on the measurement of poverty, the non-take-up of social benefits and the identification of eco-social policies that jointly reduce inequality and have beneficial environmental effects. He has a strong methodological background, and is expert member of the network for the analysis of the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the European Social Survey’s Sampling and Weighting Expert Panel. In addition, he was country team leader of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirment in Europe for Flanders - Belgium (2016-2018). His most recent book (published by Oxford University Press) is ‘Decent incomes for all. Improving policies in Europe’, co-edited with Bea Cantillon and John Hills.
