A step towards eradicating poverty
The European Parliament has approved the first EU Strategy for Combating Poverty, signaling a commitment to prioritize economic and social issues affecting citizens. The report aims to eradicate poverty in the EU by 2035 through a comprehensive approach that includes fair wealth distribution, human rights, and targeted policies. It emphasizes the need for cross-sectoral coordination, adequate funding, and the political participation of those affected by poverty. Proposed measures include full employment, fair wages, improved working conditions, housing rights, and investment in public services. The report also addresses discrimination against vulnerable groups and calls for specific actions to combat child poverty.
