Europe 2020
120 million Europeans are living in risk of poverty and social exclusion. That is 24 % of all Europeans. In only one year this vulnerable group has been increased with 4 million. It is evident that Member Countries are not doing enough in the combat against poverty and social exclusion. We have seven years until 2020. That means the number of poor people needs to be decreased with almost 3 million each year, if we shall reach the goal 20 million.
