More Attention Must Be Given To Europe’s Working Poor

Daphne Ahrendt, (2017), “More Attention Must Be Given To Europe’s Working Poor” , Social Europe, 12 Oκτωβρίου

In-work poverty increased during the economic and financial crisis that hit European shores in 2008. By 2014, ten per cent of European workers were at risk of poverty, up from eight per cent in 2007. Ten per cent is a significant figure: the working poor represent a substantial group that can’t be ignored. Just as disconcerting is the finding that 13 per cent of European workers are materially deprived. This latter measure helps to capture the impact of the crisis on people’s real living conditions.
