🇬🇧 English

This staff working document sets out the evidence behind the EU’s Anti-Poverty Strategy and its proposal on fighting housing exclusion. It maps who is most exposed to poverty in the EU, including children, young people, older people, single parents, people with disabilities, migrants, homeless people, and people facing discrimination. It does not create direct new duties for companies or citizens. Its practical importance is that it will guide EU and national policy, funding, monitoring, and future measures on income support, jobs, housing, food, energy, transport, childcare, and access to essential services.
