(a month ago)According to the latest data from Eurostat, in 2025 some 92.7 million citizens in the European Union were in danger of poverty or social exclusion. This constitutes 20.9% of the EU population, or approximately one in five people, Euronews writes.
The figures show a huge inequality among European countries. Top of the list with the highest risk rates stands Bulgaria at 29.0%, Greece with 27.5% and Romania with 27.4%.
On the other hand, countries with the lowest levels in Czechia by 11.5%, Poland with 15.0% and Slovenia with 15.5%.
Even in the European Union's largest economies, the situation remains different.
Among the EU's four largest economies, Spain stands out with the highest rate of 25.7%, meaning that more than one in four persons is at risk. Germany (21.2%) and Italy (22.6%) are both above the EU average of 20.9%. France (20.8%) is slightly below.
