What are the primary factors contributing to the projected increase in poverty intensity despite a decline in the overall poverty rate in the Netherlands?

The increase in poverty intensity is primarily due to a growing number of individuals experiencing a more significant income shortfall relative to the poverty line, particularly those with employment income or self-employment income. This group often forgoes claiming available benefits, exacerbating their financial hardship. The Central Planning Bureau (CPB) uses a new measure of 'poverty intensity' to gauge the depth of poverty, which considers the gap between household income and the poverty threshold.
