"As the report has observed very accurately, the financial crisis has increased problems linked to poverty and social exclusion, with the heaviest blow being dealt to the most vulnerable sections of the population. According to official statistics, in Lithuania, poverty threatens not just the unemployed. The rate of poverty among working people in Lithuania is higher than in other Member States. Approximately 10.4% of working people in Lithuania are threatened by poverty, compared to 8.4% in the EU 27. Information from a survey on low-income families has shown that the main causes of the risk of poverty are a lack of education and a high number of dependents. The rate of poverty among working people in Lithuania who have a lower than average education is 21.1% (EU 27 – 16.4%). Both Lithuania and the EU should try to improve education across all generations. The latest EU reports show that the majority of workers on low incomes live in rural areas. Around 32.7% of people living in rural areas experience poverty, while in urban areas, the figure is 14.7%. Together, we must reduce social and economic disparities between urban and rural areas."@en1
