"Although the European Union is one of the richest regions in the world, there are more than 80 million people at risk of poverty, including 20 million children and 8% of the working population. This situation is incompatible with the European values of justice and solidarity enshrined in the Treaties. However, poverty and social exclusion have increased in recent years despite the Union’s undertakings to reduce them. The impact of the 2008 crisis has further exacerbated the problem by putting pressure on the most vulnerable groups.
While the fight against poverty and social exclusion is primarily the responsibility of national governments, the Union can nevertheless play an important role in terms of awareness-raising, coordination and funding. In order to ensure sustainable, inclusive growth, it is essential to make the most vulnerable groups a central focus of European integration, since poverty reduction will be a driver of future growth."@en1
