Seminar and Round-Table Debate
How will the Europe 2020 Strategy Mid-Term Review reduce poverty and inequality?
Friday, 3 October 2014, 9.00-1.00pm
The Europe 2020 Strategy offered hope of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, setting for the first time a poverty target to reduce poverty by at least 20 million by 2020.
At the mid-term of this objective, poverty has not decreased, but increased by 6.6 million to 124,2 – 1 in 4 of the population. Now with the launch of the public consultation to feed into the Commission’s Mid-Term Review of Europe 2020 Strategy in 2015, stakeholders have a key opportunity to highlight their concerns.
