The extremely low salary level concerns 10% of the employed population.

Also, child poverty is close to 27%.

Europe Union has to respond to the request by those who have lagged behind, otherwise there can be no talk regarding upturn or rebound.

This is the message sent out by the European commission in the conference called “The European Pillar of Social Rights”, which was held to promote social policies.

Nowadays, one European citizen in four is at risk of poverty or social exclusion, and additionally in-work poverty, namely the extremely low salary level, concerns almost 10% of the employed population.

Also, child poverty, which has almost reached 27%, is cause for extreme concern, therefore European Union needs to find a solution to all this.

The situation is so critic that the social agenda cannot be postponed anymore.

The European commission has suggested that member states should start taking a series of actions which will provide for appropriate salaries, guaranties for accessing to the essential services, for instance the right of housing, and measure to tackle poverty.

The actions taken so far have produced/yielded results, but accessing to these services is often fragmented, making difficult to get help for those who are in need.
