93 Million People At Risk Of Poverty In EU

RAI Radio 2 Brussels 6d6d Impact 8

The European Commission has relaunched a plan to reduce the number of Europeans at risk of poverty. Bogdan Isopescu reported from Brussels that the Commission believes member states and Brussels must act in three specific directions, starting with the creation of quality jobs. The European Commission has proposed a new strategy to combat poverty through a combination of European-level contributions and commitments from member state governments. The plan includes measures to improve social cohesion and economic stability. A specific chapter of the plan addresses child poverty, noting that no progress has been made in reducing these rates over the last five years. The initiative involves at least five partner credit institutions to facilitate a minimum 60% banking credit intermediation.

Targeted categories for support include people with disabilities and those at high risk of poverty or unemployment. Member states will discuss and adopt these measures in the Council, with the Commission monitoring implementation. The plan will be reflected in the European budget, including support from the European Social Fund. Romania is expected to receive approximately 6 billion euros through these cohesion policies and funds. Further details on the proposed measures were not immediately available. Approximately one in five people in the European Union, totaling 93 million individuals, are at risk of poverty.
