1 in 5 people in the EU are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. On International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we reaffirm our commitment to ending poverty and ensuring everyone can live with dignity. That means decent wages, strong social protection, good public services, affordable housing and a strong Child Guarantee. As housing costs continue to rise across Europe, access to a decent and affordable home must be part of the fight against poverty. Ending poverty means ensuring everyone has the security and opportunities to live a decent life.
