Addressing poverty in the EU
Insights from science and practice for an Anti-poverty Strategy
This report was prepared as a support to the definition of the first EU Anti-poverty strategy, announced in the 2024-2029 Political Guidelines of the European Commission . It brings in one place key concepts from multiple scientific disciplines around the notion of poverty, and insights on policies that may reduce poverty in high income countries.
Poverty is an extremely complex problem. A huge amount of research has addressed it, usually along multiple disciplinary lines. Making sense of such knowledge may represent a daunting challenge for policymakers. The report aims to facilitate the effort by providing a concise “digest” that combines findings from different disciplines, in a policy-oriented way.
