The EU is developing a new strategy to combat poverty, addressing systemic causes such as inequality, discrimination, and lack of access to education and employment. The goal is to significantly reduce the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion by 2035, focusing on children, women, and marginalized groups. The strategy emphasizes preventive measures, adequate minimum incomes, and the expansion of social services. Close cooperation between the EU, member states, and local actors is essential for implementation. Financial resources and transparent data collection are key prerequisites for success.
