EAPN: Updated Explainer on Poverty and Inequality in the EU
European Anti Poverty Networks explainer sets out to provide a simple introduction to the poverty debate. It focuses primarily on current perspectives on the nature and extent of poverty, its causes and its links to inequality. It explains how poverty is understood and measured currently in the EU, and highlights some of the shortcomings of these approaches.
It is intended as a tool for people working in civil-society organisations, but equally for trade unions, academics, the media and the public, to understand the causes and the impact of poverty, social exclusion and inequalities for those directly experiencing them and also for society as a whole.
