The topic of fuel poverty has generated an increasing interest in the economic, political and social spheres. This economics thesis examines the measurement and analysis of the interactions between three fundamental indicators of forced household expenses in terms of health, housing, and energy to identify the relevant factors needed for the implementation of actions that address and prevent fuel poverty. This paper presents an original theoretical and analytical study that investigates this phenomenon first in terms of equity, highlighting the existence of disparities and justifying the implementation of additional potentially new measures that promote greater equity in the allocation of energy among individuals. Furthermore, the study characterizes the dynamics of this phenomenon, providing invaluable information on the types of measures (e.g., social tariffs for energy, innovative models of payment for energy, housing renovation assistance) that could be implemented to prevent fuel poverty and thus address the underlying objectives of equity. The thesis then presents an analysis of the consequences of energy vulnerability on dimensions other than those directly referring to energy (i.e., health), raising political decision-makers' awareness of the multidimensional and broad effects of fuel poverty on other dimensions of social vulnerability. Fuel poverty is a factor that contributes to the worsening of other disparities (i.e., health disparities), compromising public decision-makers' pursuit of the objective of equity. Finally, the analysis of new innovative methods of payment that provide energy (i.e., prepayment) with fewer costs indicated that prepayment is a tool that could contribute to the respective goals of horizontal and vertical equity. ; La thématique de la précarité énergétique suscite un intérêt grandissant de la sphère économique, politique et sociale. Cette thèse en sciences économiques porte sur la représentation et l'analyse des interactions de trois postes fondamentaux dans les dépenses ...

International audience ; The growing literature indicates that poor living conditions (unhealthy housing, education access,labor market access.) or low socio economics status are majors determinants of health and healthinequalities (Jusot, 2006). Regarding poor living conditions, a section of energy economics concerns thefuel poverty concept. In France, fuel poverty was deÖned in the Article 11 of the national commitmentto the environment (Grenelle II) of 12 July 2010: "an household who has di¢ culties disposing of thenecessary energy satisfy his basic needs due to the inadequacy of his resources or his living conditions isin fuel poverty under this Act ".The french deÖnition of fuel poverty appears as a interaction betweenhouseholds, their socio-economic situation and their dwelling. This one can create some cumulativese§ects or constitute a ripple e§ect. Moreover, the fuel poverty can considered as a part of the Precar-iousness framework as the food precariousness, the health precariousness, the Önantial precariousness.So, the fuel poverty can interact with the others types of precariousness. In this way, the fuel povertyconstitute a additional source of weakening for individuals. In more general terms, the fuel poverty con-tribute to increase vulnerability to Poverty.
