The main emphasis is on social security, social services, family policies, as well as research on poverty and living conditions. Research in this field has increased considerably in recent years and Iceland has participated in international comparative research that has led to augmented knowledge on the characteristics and outcomes of the Icelandic welfare system. Icelandic scholars have taken part in comparative research projects in the field and Iceland is now presented in many international databases that provide new opportunities for research, such as the European survey on living conditions, EU SILC that creates before unknown possibilities to monitor living conditions and social status of the Icelandic population.
