The definition of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion is people living in households facing at least one of the three risks of poverty and exclusion: income poverty, severe material and social deprivation and/or living in a household with very low work intensity (where adults work at less than 20 percent of their potential over one year).
The countries with the lowest share of citizens at risk of poverty or social exclusion were: the Czech Republic (12 percent), Slovenia (13.7 percent) and Finland (15.8 percent).
Overall, 94.6 million people in the EU (or just over 21 percent of the population) were at risk of poverty or social exclusion.
According to Eurostat data, this figure has remained relatively stable compared to the previous year (95.3 million in 2022, or 22 percent of the population).
