"A large number of people in the European Union are facing poverty, with a rate of 8% of the working population. The statistics include 20 million children, which significantly reduces their chances of success in life. Furthermore, the financial and economic crisis has affected even more the situation of the most vulnerable sections of the population, such as young people, women, the elderly, migrants, people with disabilities or the Roma population.
As it is a complex problem, poverty must be tackled using an integrated approach, involving not only European, but also local, regional and national decision makers, in both the public and private sectors. The authorities must take into account the different stages in life and take measures to guarantee access to resources and services for the vulnerable sections of the population. As a flagship initiative of the Europe 2020 strategy, the European platform against poverty and social exclusion has an ambitious mission: to reduce in the coming years the number of people living in precarious circumstances by 20 million. To achieve this, I think that it would be useful for us to implement an open coordination method so that all European citizens enjoy equal opportunities in life."@en1
